Why was Epstein’s accomplice moved?
The transfer of Epstein’s accomplice comes days after US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell and her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to gather information on the case that has complicated the US president.
Blanche was also Donald Trump’s lawyer in the trial for the payment to silence a porn actress.
Maxwell’s defense had previously requested immunity as a condition for testifying before a United States Congressional committee in the midst of her attempts to overturn the conviction on two counts of sex trafficking of minors, transportation of minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three conspiracy-related charges.
The case that complicates Donald Trump
In recent weeks, the United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has received numerous criticisms from the far-right MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement for lack of transparency after the FBI and the Department of Justice concluded that there is no “client list” that includes the names of all individuals involved in the parties organized by the billionaire and in the child trafficking network.
Trump himself requested to close this investigation, which he has considered on several occasions as an attempt to destabilize the government.
The spokesperson for the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, stated that the magnate is “scared” by the documents surrounding the case.
Recently, the White House barred the newspaper The Wall Street Journal from a presidential trip to Trump’s golf courses in Scotland after it mentioned in an article an obscene letter that the current president wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on charges of sexual abuse and trafficking of dozens of girls in the early 2000s. The billionaire, who even mingled at one point with personalities like Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, was found hanged in his cell.
