In reply to the discussion: Trump hosted party for 'young women' where Epstein was the only guest: New York Times [View all]John1956PA
(4,297 posts)46. I understand your point. However, maybe the NYT did not have unassailable confirmation of the story until now.
In 2019, one source told the NYT of the 1990s Mara Lago event. Maybe, from 2019 until now, the NYT has been building an iron-clad defense of the story. Trump has already sued the NYT over its publication. The newspaper recognized the need to have other sources corroborate the story before it proceeded to publish it.
Now that the NYT had published the story, I have posted my comment about it on my website. I hope the story gains traction and creates much consternation for Trump.

Where I grew up it was referred to as "jail bait". Guess that no longer applies.

I think the NYT did not publish information as to the 1990s Epstein-only audience event until just now.
