Stephen King went there defending Trump and he's not even on this list?
Stephen Hawking is though
That's a surprise to read. Where'd you see that?
Don't worry, you're right to be surprised. It's the current conspiracy theory leaped upon by morons. Stephen King recently claimed the "Epstein list" doesn't actually exist, and people automatically jumped to the conclusion that he was agreeing with Trump, who is also saying the list doesn't exist. It seems far more reasonable, given King's very public disdain for Trump, that he's pointing out the "Epstein list" has only ever been talked about by people who used it for political advantage.
Think about it: you've been hearing for years about the list from a wide variety of talking heads and everyday people, but have you ever seen any actual evidence that such a list exists besides a bunch of "trust me bro"?
I hope the list exists. I'd like it to exist. But it's perfectly plausible that it was just another lie by the party famous for lying.

Sigh...I also was rather surprised to see this. So apparently he went 'he didn't kill himself' back in the day, but somehow the list can't real to him.
