    Yeah, let’s ask the person to testify in court. We’ll charge Trump with conspiracy to commit murder and then we’ll have them testify and a jury can decide if he’s guilty. Just like everyone else in this country should have to face.

      That’s not how it would work even for an ordinary person. This is an accusation about something rather far-fetched happening 35 years before the accusation was made, with no evidence for it except the accusation itself. It wouldn’t lead to criminal charges.

      It’s hearsay at best as-is. Compile some evidence first otherwise it would be dismissed.

        It’s not just hearsay when its in the context of everything we know about Epstein, Trump, and how they’ve been named together in previous, similar case(s).
