Why the Did Epstein List Become a Thing Now? [View all]

It's because the MAGA base became furious that the Trump administration seems to be covering it up. This raises a few questions for me:

1. Why didn't the Clinton (2016), Biden (2020), and Harris (2024) campaigns make this a major issue to be use against Trump?

2. Would the media have hyped the story if it was being promoted by the left or is this another case of the media kissing up to the MAGA movement?

3. Are many Democrats quiet because they know several prominent people on the left are on the list?

4. Has anyone talked to the Trump/Epstein rape victim, Katie Johnson?
