Two crusading U.S. Congressmen, Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, released the names of six men they claimed were "powerful" people tied to Epstein. But no clear evidence ties them to the disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker.
Well.... This is getting weirder everyday.

"disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker"
Accused?
Convicted.
Motherfucker plead guilty to solicitation of a minor in 2008.
He is not an accused sex trafficker.
And why the fuck did you lead with finance?
"Disgraced sex trafficking serial rapist, alleged serial murderer and foreign secret intelligence agent Jeffery Epstein..."
Someone at the guardian is for sure in the fucking files.

Soliciting a minor wouldn't be considered as sex trafficking though, be would it? I agree though that this is a heinously cowardly description of the man...

So while he wasn't a convicted sex trafficker, per se, he was a convicted sex offender, and his sex trafficking is beyond accusatory, it is on the record. "Known sex trafficker," or as I said, "Disgraced sex trafficker."

this is what you choose to nit-pick?

Well yeah, OP was nitpicking the word "accused" rather than "convicted" when he was not, in fact, a convicted sex trafficker. Words matter, accuracy matters, especially these days...

I wonder if DOJ tried to Honeypot the Congress folks that went to see the files with false documents. We know their searches were monitored. I hate that I sound like a conspiracy theorist but I don't know what I'd put past these assholes
