You are the company you keep.
Newly uncovered footage shows Trump and Epstein together. Photos confirm Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. Not widely known.
When CNN asked Trump about it, he said, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” then hung up after calling them “fake news”.

“The families and lawyers of dozens of other Venezuelan & Salvadoran men who had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say their relatives and clients have similarly disappeared over the past week” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
They were arrested during routine ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.
