CNN Legal Analyst Slams Trump DOJ Over 'Embarrassing' Lack Of Epstein Investigations
HuffPost
Elie Honig excoriated the Department of Justice in an editorial Friday, ultimately acknowledging that its lack of action is "perhaps purposeful."
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig says U.K. authorities and Congress are leagues ahead of the Department of Justice in their investigative pursuits of potential co-conspirators of late child predator Jeffrey Epstein, calling the “embarrassing” lack of charges “perhaps purposeful.”
“The United States Department of Justice is getting lapped by both Congress and the British authorities on follow-up investigations around the Epstein files,” Honig wrote Friday in an editorial published in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer. “There’s no excuse for either.”
He continued, “As British police arrest astonishingly powerful men for their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. House of Representatives tries to force titans of finance and politics to answer tough questions, our Justice Department lags far behind.”
Honig went on to note that it’s “not even clear the DoJ is doing anything at all.”
U.K. law enforcement arrested former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor last week on “suspicion of misconduct in public office” after the most recent tranche of Epstein files appeared to suggest the ex-royal gave Epstein confidential information in 2010 and 2011, according to the BBC.
