Trump is not 'exonerated'

There are two sexual assault allegations against Trump involving minors

President Donald Trump continues to insist that he didn’t know about Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement with underage girls. While speaking to reporters Monday, Trump seemed to acknowledge that he had been accused of wrongdoing associated with Epstein announcing that he had been “totally exonerated” and adding that he has “nothing to hide.”

But the files raise even more questions about the President’s association with Epstein — particularly about how much he knew and when he knew it — as well as his effort to protect the powerful people whose names are listed as suspected co-conspirators in the files.

To be clear, there are two sexual assault allegations involving minor girls who have accused Trump of rape that are part of the public record. Both are referenced in the Epstein files.

There is no evidence that their stories are true. But they shouldn’t be dismissed either. Here is a review, and some new details.
