My question about the JE case documents...

These facts were reported Friday in multiple sources:

“You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times,” Trump told reporters, referring to the notorious private island where Epstein ran an underage sex trafficking ring. “I never went to the island.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi informed Trump in May he was named multiple times in Epstein’s case documents.

On Friday, Trump denied ever being briefed on his name appearing in the Epstein files.

Both Trump and Clinton’s names appeared on flight logs from Epstein’s private jets, as shown in evidence released in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker and Epstein’s former associate.

My question:
If Trump was never briefed about his name appearing in the Epstein files, how does he know Clinton flew to the island precisely 28 times?

We know that Trump claimed he flew 28 times. Note the distinction.

The flight logs were made public during the trial. Fox in 5/16 said 26 times, based on the flight logs (link provided, you probably don't want to go there). I figure that if anybody's going to try to claim the highest number of "incidents" possible, that would probably be it. Don't know where they got their number, to be honest. Maybe court testimony? Some informant?

Another source I won't link to says that the flight logs were made public in 12/21. Presumably by the court.

Maybe he was briefed, maybe his awesome memory was functioning up to its usual standards with respect to one of his favorite people to diss.

Haven't seen a link to the flight logs. Not gonna search.

What little I've read has all kinds of reports on people going from Teterboro to DC, Florida to Teterboro, or other places that unless we dub North America "Turtle Island" don't usually count as islands.
