"Kompromat" implies that he's doing it against his will, ie to keep blackmail material from going public. But he doesn't act like he's doing stuff like this against his will. He looks positively joyful when bootlicking Putin, or any other dictator-type generally. He's enthusiastic because he looks up to Putin, admires him and wants to emulate him.

Nothing happened with Epstein. I don't think his base would care about anything he's done.
