Many members of both sides of the political aisle are patiently awaiting the release of documents about who frequently visited the island of Jeffrey Epstein, the New York financier who was charged with running an underage sex ring before allegedly dying by suicide in a New York jail. 710 WOR host Mark Simone is waiting to get his hands on the listings but believes there’s been a miscalculation in the coverage leading up to its release.
During The Mark Simone Show Tuesday, the New York-based host argued that the media has acted inappropriately in attempting to tie former President Trump to the disgraced New York socialite.
“It’s totally deceptive. Whenever they’re going to do this story ‘Two Presidents, Clinton and Trump! Epstein, Clinton and Trump, Clinton and Trump.’ They make it look like it’s the same story. It’s not. It’s two totally different stories. Before anybody knew about Epstein in the early 90s, mid 90s, Trump was friendly with him because he was a member of Mar a Lago. Trump was friendly. And once in the late 90s, Trump got wind of what Epstein was all about. Threw him out of the club, and warned everybody, including me, to stay the hell away from him. And that was the end of it, in the 90s.
“Bill Clinton became friends with Epstein and stuck with him to the very end in the 2000s the 2010s. Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, two totally different Epstein stories, but the media will make it sound like it was the same thing.”
After originally being planned to be released this week, a court order has delayed the release of more than 150 names being filed in a civil case from being released until at least Monday, January 22nd.
