A lawyer for one of Epstein's victims reveals that, when asked if the pedophile had been "expelled" after "trying to take home a member's 15-year-old daughter," Trump said that "something along those lines happened."
...
This led Edwards to ask about the Mar-a-Lago rumor involving a 15-year-old girl.
"He paused before saying that something along those lines happened but he could not recall the exact details and instead referred me to his Mar-a-Lago manager, Bernd Lembcke," Edwards writes in the book.
Lembcke would not confirm or deny the story, states Edwards.
Okay, so the actual story here is that Trump
claims that he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for being a pedophile. It's interesting how often this story is repeated without the very important qualifier that the only person vouching for it being true is Trump himself. And even if the story is true, which it almost certainly isn't, it doesn't really make Trump look like a hero to say "Not in my backyard" and wash his hands of the matter. If he had actually taken decisive action, like going to the police, I'd be impressed. Frankly, I don't believe that anyone who hung around with Epstein for years wouldn't have known about his preference for underage women.
It looks like you and the Democrats have foolishly taken the bait in this manufactured feud. Previously Democrats were putting up roadblocks to getting the Epstein information out to the public, with Biden notably refraining from releasing the files.
Elon seems to have found the key to convincing the entrenched establishment to throw their celebrities and donor elite under the bus. The key is the prospect of getting Trump. Democrat Reps are now putting pressure on the FBI to get the full unredacted Epstein files.

Notice Elon's purposely vague statement on this that Trump is "in the Epstein files". We already knew this. The fact that no further details or accusations are made, only inferences, is evidence that this is a trick.
Biden isn't the president, Trump is, and all three branches of the government are firmly under Republican control. Trump doesn't need Democrats or "the entrenched establishment" to ask for the Epstein files to be released. He can do it any time he wants. He doesn't want to (recall him backing out when he had already promised to release them earlier in the year) because he'll be implicated by them.
If Elon knew that Trump did bad things to children, why would he "apologise profusely" to Trump once the files were released showing this? This does not make much sense, and further suggests that this is manufactured.
The obvious inference is that he'll apologize if he's wrong. This is common phrasing in arguments. "You're cheating on me! Show me your texts!" "How dare you! Apologize right now!" "I'll apologize once I've seen your texts!" Besides, we can easily turn your logic around here - if what Elon said is so obviously nonsensical, then why did he say it at all? Surely he doesn't want people to know that this is all staged, so why would this being staged apparently make it more likely for him to say nonsensical things than if it were real?
