A resurfaced clip shows sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pleading the Fifth when he was asked during a deposition if he ever socialized with underage girls around Donald Trump.

The video clip, unearthed by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, shows Epstein responding to questions during a March 2010 deposition. The disgraced financier was questioned by an attorney of an alleged victim, Vice News previously reported.

    Because he had to plead the 5th to protect Donald. We know that Donald is guilty of diddling children.

      Well yeah, we know that. But if it were as incontrovertibly known about Trump as it is about Epstein, we wouldn’t be asking for the release of the Epstein list to prove Trump is guilty.

      I don’t think it was to protect Trump. I think it was still the normal sort of selfish legal maximization. The story is that he couldn’t answer about his times being with both Trump and young girls without incriminating himself, which implies that when they were both together with young girls, something illegal happened.
