Summary: Author Michael Wolff alleges that Jeffrey Epstein showed him photos of Donald Trump with topless young women at Epstein’s Palm Beach home. Trump’s campaign has denied the claims, calling Wolff a “disgraced” writer. Wolff also expressed skepticism about Epstein’s death, suggesting it was implausible but also questioning the possibility of a cover-up.

    Legal. Probably why they used that term.

      I doubt it.

      There’s no point mentioning it at all if the topless women were obviously legal, but plenty of reasons to be unclear if they were obviously underage.

      Mentioning epstein and “young” women very clearly implies underage, without opening the door to defamation.

        There was a time that having topless women sitting in your lap would have killed a presidential campaign.

        Maybe the author is 80 years old and thinks that’s still scandalous.

          It is interesting to see how different acceptable public behavior is now.

          I presume that anyone following politics knows that can’t hurt trump, at least.

        I think we kind of said the same thing.

          Ah, I think I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that young meant young but still of legal age.
