New Report Suggests Donald Trump Could Be Linked to Jeffrey Epstein as 'Doe 174'

Introduction:

A recent report by Business Insider has raised speculation about former US President Donald Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. According to the article, Trump fits the profile of "Doe 174," a person associated with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, whose name surfaced during Maxwell's public criminal trial.

The Unveiling of Court Documents:

In the past week, thousands of pages of court records related to a lawsuit involving Epstein have been made public. These documents list over 170 individuals, including Epstein's rich friends, victims, and associates, designated as "J. Doe" for reasons of confidentiality.

Reasons Why Trump Might Be 'Doe 174':

The report outlines several reasons why Trump could potentially be identified as 'Doe 174':

1. Long-standing Connection with Epstein: Trump is noted to have a longstanding association with Jeffrey Epstein, as evidenced by their interactions over the years.
2. Comments on Ghislaine Maxwell's Indictment: Business Insider points to Trump's statement of "I wish her well" upon Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment on sex trafficking charges. This remark is cited as part of the basis for the connection.
3. Unclear Position on Concealing Identity: While it remains unclear if Trump actively sought to have his identity concealed in the court documents, the report suggests that the language used by US District Judge Loretta Preska differs from those associated with other individuals, such as Bill Clinton.

Judge's Statements and Epstein Victim's Testimony:

The report refers to a December order by Judge Loretta Preska, where she stated that some individuals identified as Does did not object to their names being made public. However, the report notes that the language used in rulings for 'Doe 174' implies that the material related to this individual should be unsealed in full.

Johanna Sjoberg, an Epstein victim, is mentioned in the report for providing two documents related to 'Doe 174.' In her deposition, Sjoberg denies offering Trump massages at Epstein's facilities but recalls flying in Epstein's private plane to Atlantic City, where they visited one of Trump's casinos.

Conclusion:

While the court documents released on Wednesday revealed the names of several prominent individuals, including Trump, the report emphasizes that Trump was hardly mentioned, and there was no reference to any illicit behavior on his part. The speculation surrounding Trump's connection to 'Doe 174' adds a new dimension to the ongoing scrutiny of individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
