Nov 18

And that age varies slightly depending on what state it is. I think the word they are looking for is rape not ‘had sex with’.
Trump really has a dreadful track record for the people he surrounds himself with, Jeffrey Epstein, Matt Gaetz. Will we get the report and find out any kind of truth about what he did or will the Republicans cover that up?
