Neither of the Clintons nor Trump is accused by law enforcement of criminal wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. And the testimony of the Clintons is raising uncomfortable parallels that will discomfit Trump and his inner orbit. And former Secretary Clinton’s appearance — although, in her telling, she had no information about Epstein’s conduct — creates a model of a spouse being asked about her husband’s links to the accused sex trafficker. Trump refused a subpoena to testify to the House committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, riot by his supporters at the US Capitol. But the tantalizing patterns established by the Clinton testimony mean it might become a liability for Trump by exacerbating intrigue about Epstein.
