MASSIVE BREAKING: Data Set 8 of the Epstein Files show that a victim stated that Trump and Epstein raped her, and that a Limo driver heard Trump in the back speaking to “Jeffrey” about “abusing girls”.

The victim then “committed suicide” in January of 2000 after reporting the incident.

Police didn’t believe it was suicide.
