46. Investigation was shut down by 45's agencies
Wed Jul 23, 2025, 10:15 PM

... and, as far as I can tell, there has been no effort by any agency or atty general's office during the Biden years to take a closer look or re-interview anyone because Trump Model Management was closed. The allegations and evidence of wrongdoing appear to have fallen off the raider. So many other horrors capturing attention.

Personally, I hope some reputable investigative reporters start digging into this again. Sure, there may be nothing there. I don't think I am prone to fall for conspiracy theories, but if the past couple decades have demonstrated anything, it's that, with Trump, however bad the established facts are, there almost always seems to be another shoe to drop. I need to poke around some more, but on first glance, there are various happenings and threads in the waters Epstein swam in that cross with Trump in the years from the pageant event for an audience of two in '92 to '98. (Some testimony about introductions to Trump in '94 and 98, with Trump's launch of the agency in 1999 (haven't found much about the how's and whys).
