President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's Arrest
Tim O'Brien, executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion and author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald (Warner Books, 2015), discusses the arrest and indictment of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy on Monday.
"Are there tapes or other possibly incriminating evidence about the people that Jeffrey Epstein associated with? Donald Trump spent a significant amount of time with Jeffrey Epstein… there’s a good 20 year run where they were deeply familiar with one another," says @TimOBrien.
