What is Trump saying it was, and what's the reality? What are we learning? Trump has said that he really wasn't as good of friends with him, that he had a falling out with him, that they had some events together-he was at Mar-a-Lago at some events, but he's downplayed that, I think it's fair to say. From what we have seen, they were much closer-certainly much closer than I thought they were when I did this story originally.
Over in the U.K., law-enforcement officials have arrested former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and former ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson. (Technically, both have been arrested but not yet formally charged, under a wrinkle in British legal procedure.) The putative defendants reportedly face potential charges of "misconduct in public office" for allegedly providing confidential government documents, including sensitive financial information about investment opportunities, to Epstein.
