It's unclear to me why this testimony from a Trump victim from 2016 still is having no impact WARNING this is graphic and VERY objectionable #EpsteinFiles www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...
From the 50501 community on Reddit: Katie Johnson's full testimony of 2/11/16- She was at Epstein party at 13 and gave him a handjob.

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

We're going to see a lot more of this And again I have to ask - the goal seems to be to send the US economy into a recession, but why? WHY? Who will benefit from it? Will it be used to pit Americans against each other? Bring about martial law?
