More Epstein Scandals Revealed
Lee Fang, an investigative reporter formerly with The Intercept, joins his old colleague Glenn Greenwald to touch upon new — and rarely discussed — scandals relating to Jeffrey Epstein. While the Trump administration has promised to release more details surrounding the death and dastardly doings of Epstein, so far we haven’t seen much at all from Trump’s people. They are always promising Epstein exposure, while shuffling papers and delaying any substantive findings. And FBI leaders Kash Patel and Dan Bongino stunned many MAGA followers by declaring last weekend that Epstein committed suicide.
Here, Fang relays how the U.S. Virgin Islands has squandered and misused money received through Epstein settlements. Albert Bryan Jr., the governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, fired the Attorney General Denise George who was trying to get to the bottom of the scandal. Bryan has ensured the same dirty politic has continued since Epstein’s death.
Will we see anything different from the Trump administration? It’s certainly not looking likely. Why all the dodgy delays and hiding the facts? Why such blatant coverups on behalf of the Israelis, who apparently were Epstein’s chief sponsors? Fang and Greenwald outline some of the parameters, and throw a few new wrinkles our way, but this is a story that we’re still likely to be following years from now. And despite Trump’s promises to reveal the truth, his underlings don’t seem compelled at all to do so.
