The Book's Endnotes — Red White & Blind

THE BOOK’S FULL ENDNOTES

This is under development and coming soon.

It is a unique challenge to provide sources in a book like this. A news source that I criticize in one place might be used as corroboration and support in other places. For this reason, I have endeavored to cite a broad variety of sources from all across our media landscape—a veritable Balanced Media Diet of citations.

Website links are current as of October 2022.

<h2>Introduction</h2>

1. Many of the men do deny involvement, and Virginia awaits a true day in court. Dershowitz, for his part, wrote a book attempting to refute the charges: Dershowitz, Alan. Guilt by Asso- ciation: The Challenge of Proving Innocence in the Age of #MeToo. Hot Books. New York, NY. 2019.

3. Trump flew on the Lolita Express many times in the 1990s, but he seems to have broken with Epstein in the early 2000s and even kicked him out of his house at one point.
