But the incident mentioned in the title happened years ago - they were on trial together for it back in 2007 (where Epstein negotiated a non-prosecution agreement for himself and all co-conspirators on the basis that he was a secret service asset). I first read about this during the first Trump presidency, just after Epstein got arrested for the last time.
I was using the word “story” to mean the concept of recounting an event that happened, not as in “news story” or a specific publication. I meant that the “howling in envy” thing has been circulating online for years. I’m glad they’re publicizing it this close to the election, but it’s not at all new information.
