Trump defends sharing Clinton-Epstein conspiracy theory
President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his decision to share a tweet suggesting Bill and Hillary Clinton were involved in financier Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide, and stoked speculation about the former president’s relationship with the deceased convicted sex offender.
“The retweet — which is what it was, just a retweet — was from somebody that’s a very respected conservative pundit, so I think that was fine,” Trump told reporters, referring to a conspiratorial message by comedian and commentator Terrence K. Williams, which he re-posted Saturday. -snip
^Trump in full desperation to deflect away that he and Epstein were very close in the past, refereed to him as a "terrific guy" and that Epstein used Trump's own resorts to "recruit" some of his girls from.
