Author Tim O’Brien mentioned this last night on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show:

[Jeffrey Epstein, Called ‘Terrific’ By Trump, Charged With Sex Trafficking | The Last Word | MSNBC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-UvUcoOFRg)

Mention at about 14:30 mins into clip. O’Brien notes the similarity with the unknown sources of money that flow into the Trump Organization.
