Fusion GPS Sought To Link Trump To Convicted Pedophile Epstein.

The Washington Times (12/10, Scarborough, 624K) reports that in addition to the Russia dossier, Fusion GPS "pitched other stories" about President Trump "to Washington reporters, including an attempt to tie him to a convicted pedophile who was once buddies with former President Bill Clinton." The Times cites "journalist sources" who said the firm's founder, Glenn Simpson "pushed the idea of a close relationship between Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting sex from an underage girl." Fusion also "pushed the story that a special email server existed between Trump Tower and Moscow's Alfa bank, the journalist source said."
