15. Not just pageant conduit. Trump Model Management was exploiting

...women and girls for labor as models -- underpaid, coached to lie to customs, charged exorbitant rent for deplorable conditions. It is not much of a jump from that to feeding some into Epstein's orbit. And they were young. From the article:

"Trump Model Management recruited models as young as 14. “I was by far the oldest in the house at the ripe old age of 18,”

Trump Model Management opened in 1999 and closed in 2017, so it was operating for years before the reported 2004 "split" with Epstien.

AI summary about closure:

The closure followed numerous controversies and allegations surrounding the agency's practices. These included accusations of exploiting foreign models by failing to obtain proper work visas or paying them significantly less than stated in their H-1B visa applications. Some models also alleged being forced to pay exorbitant fees and living in substandard housing provided by the agency, according to Mother Jones. These allegations sparked investigations by entities like United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, initiated by a request from Senator Barbara Boxer.

Yes, Trump was exploiting models, but there has never been an allegation of sex trafficking associated with this. Wiz Imp Jul 23 #34

Investigation was shut down by 45's agencies pat_k Jul 23 #46

If they were involved in sex trafficking, it almost certainly would have started from the beginning Wiz Imp Jul 23 #47
