I'm not buying that Trump is totally innocent here

. These new emails are interesting, but they don't really tell us what went down between him and Epstein. I mean, we know they socialized a lot, but that doesn't necessarily mean Trump knew about Epstein's shady side of things.
It's also weird that Trump's reps have been denying any wrongdoing for so long

. Can't he just own up to it? It seems like he's trying to spin this whole thing and make everyone think he was just a victim of circumstance. But what if he wasn't? What if he was complicit in some way?
I'm also not convinced by the "he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago" story

. If that were true, wouldn't we have heard about it by now? I don't think so.
Anyway, this whole thing is still a big mess

. And let's be real, if Trump was aware of Epstein's crimes and didn't do anything about them, that's not exactly the kind of leadership we want from our president
