Donald Trump and Republicans neglecting the victims of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking evil recruitments

Echo opinion letter published in Lynchburg Virginia's The News and Advance newspaper:

First term Virginia 5th District Republican Congressman Rep. John McGuire joined all of his Republican colleagues in voting to continue Donald Trump’s cover-up of the Epstein sexual preditor files. But what we already know is damaging.

In 2017, Epstein told author Michael Wolff that Trump was his closest friend for 10 years. 

A Florida businessman “claimed that in 1992 he had organized a ‘calendar girl’ competition at Mar-a-Lago following a request from Trump, and was surprised that the future president and Epstein were the only guests who had been invited” (Newsweek, Jan 4, 2024). In 2016, Katie Johnson filed a lawsuit against Trump and Epstein citing her rape in 1994, when she was 13 years old (she pulled the lawsuit over fears for her safety). Several minutes are missing from the video footage of Epstein’s prison cell that Trump’s Department of Justice just released.

It’s clear Trump is hiding something about himself. It’s time for a serious bipartisan investigation.

P.S. How quickly Republican voters forget Donald Trump's Access Hollywood tapes.  "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."😔😢
