44. The real estate deal was in 2004. The investigation of Epstein began in 2005.

The investigation of Epstein began in 2005 and led to his arrest and indictment on a state charge in July 2006.  The case was concluded with that controversial Acosta plea deal in June 2008, where Epstein pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges and served only 13 months of an 18-month sentence.

Plus, Trump kinda sucks at thinking things through, which I'm sure you've noticed.

And yes, the evidence may be "weak," but it's certainly not "zero."
