Epstein's Entrapment with Julie K. Brown
Summary
<p>Journalist Julie K. Brown -- whose Miami Herald reporting in 2017 and 2018 led to additional charges for Epstein and identified nearly 80 of his victims -- sits down with Rick to unravel all of the significant details that the public might not know yet, or might not be paying attention to. Blowing the lid off of an already UNBELIEVABLE story (again), Julie sheds light on the victims' stories, Epstein and Maxwell's extensive child trafficking network, the colossal names woven into the network, why investigators should follow the money, and, of course, the unprecedented sweetheart plea deal Alex Acosta (who'd later slither into the role of Trump's Labor Secretary in 2017) handed to Epstein during his 2008 criminal case in Palm Beach County. Rick and Julie also untangle the important details surrounding Epstein's 2006 Palm Beach investigation where a Victim's Rights Lawsuit (filed after the sweetheart plea deal) exposed a chummy email paper trail between the Prosecutor's office (i.e. Alex Acosta's office at the time) and Epstein's attorney.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more of her investigative groundbreaking reporting, please check out Julie's book "Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story" and her Miami Herald 2017-2018 investigation here→ <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/topics/jeffrey-epstein">https://www.miamiherald.com/topics/jeffrey-epstein</a>•</p><p>•</p><p>•</p><p>•</p><p>•</p><p>Get your copy of Julie K Brown's book, "Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story," and follow Julie on X at @JKBjournalist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky, and subscribe to his Substack at <a href="http://therickwilson.substack.com">therickwilson.substack.com</a>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Join the fight with the Lincoln Project at <a href="http://www.lincolnproject.us">www.lincolnproject.us</a> and follow LP on X at @ProjectLincoln.
