28:09Now PlayingWe look at the unbelievable story of multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who for years orchestrated a sex trafficking network of hundreds of underage girls and is accused of regularly molesting children as young as 13 at his Florida mansion. But the serial sex offender received a shockingly lenient sentence for his crimes13 months in county jail, with many of his days spent at his Palm Beach office with regular visitors. This was all due to a plea deal approved by Trump’s Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, who was then U.S. attorney in Miami. The plea deal allowed Epstein to avoid a federal trial and possible life in prison, and effectively ended an FBI probe into the case. The Miami Herald recently published a series of articles exposing Epstein’s crimes and the highpowered people who protected him. We speak with investigative reporter Julie Brown in a web exclusive conversation. Her series exposing multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes is titled “Perversion of Justice.”
