I can’t believe Leon Black was palling around with Epstein before he started living in Larry David’s house.

"You need to foist that limpy bitch onto someone else!"
The biggest name in Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book back in 2003 was a past president rather than a future one.
Very deliberate first line. As it's written, it implies that Donald Trump's name isn't in the book. The reference in the tagline wasn't even necessary. These companies know most people stick to the tagline and don't read the whole article.
I think you just misread it. It implies that Trump was in it but not the biggest name. Aren't you more concerned they didn't name Trump, so you might think it was Obama or Biden?
The WSJ is the one that broke the story of Trump's letter - 10 days ago! Why break a story you're trying to hide?
Trump was in it but not the biggest name
I've seen his signature. It's always the biggest.
Arrest every single one of them, but trump first.
Surprising no one with a brain.
Since I had to look him up anyway:
"Leon David Black (born July 31, 1951) is an American private equity investor. He is the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which he co-founded in 1990 with Marc Rowan and Josh Harris. Black was the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art from 2018 to 2021. Black resigned from both Apollo Global Management and the Museum of Modern Art in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations and revelations that he had paid $158 million to Jeffrey Epstein."
