Event Description

Thomas Jr. advises Epstein on reputation management strategy, recommending that Epstein separate himself from Prince Andrew in public messaging, arguing that Andrew-not Clinton or others-is the figure keeping the scandal alive. Thomas suggests Epstein issue a statement to demonstrate he has 'moved on,' implying strategic public relations to kill the news cycle.

Quoted Evidence

“I think the big issue is separating yourself from Andrew. I mean I can see why a statement might help in some way -- but its Andrew (not clinton and the rest) that is keeping the story alive. Until you are able to come forward and address that the story lives on... You have moved on! People don't know that and cant accept that unless you say as much.”
