Who Will Jeffrey Epstein Take Down With Him?

“Eleven years after letting Jeffrey Epstein off lightly with a once-secret plea deal, the U.S. government is taking another run at putting the wealthy sex offender behind bars with new sex-trafficking charges that law enforcement officials say involve allegations dating to the early 2000s,” the AP reports.

“Epstein, arrested over the weekend, is expected to make his first court appearance on the new charges Monday in New York City.”

Elie Honig: “It is unusual and notable that SDNY’s Public Corruption Unit is on the Epstein case. I keep thinking back to 2008 when I was in the SDNY and Public Corruption was on a seemingly routine interstate prostitution case. Turned out, then-NY Governor Eliot Spitzer was Client 9.”

Christine Pelosi: “It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may – whether on Republicans or Democrats.”
