I think Trump was pretty heavily involved. But from the evidence I have seen he did actually cut ties with Epstein earlier than most public figures we know about. This isn't a defense of Trump but more of an analysis.
I think what leaks will be heavily weighed towards anything after he stopped actively being involved with Epstein. So, there is little risk to his involvement being exposed.
My guess, Trump is a petty little b****, and had a falling out with him for one reason or another. He'll likely use this as a reason to say "he felt something was wrong and thought Epstein was creepy" so he cut ties. When in reality he probably cut ties because of his ego on some issue or another.
Now, this is not to say there is definitely not significantly more to this. This is a massive sex trafficking ring that involves many in the ruling class. Trump could absolutely still be involved (even today) but just stopped directly interacting with Epstein.
My guess is this type of sex trafficking is still being done to the same degree by another "Epstein". These types of things don't die with one pedophile as everyone in power wants us to believe.
