Reasoning
Epstein's statement is a denial/rebuttal of a factual claim about Clinton's presence. Per DENIAL/REBUTTAL rule, this scores the underlying allegation (a dinner), which has no trafficking indicators. The emphasis on media management and denying credibility is consistent with reputation defense, not trafficking concealment.
