Trump Won’t Recommend A Special Prosecutor In Epstein Case, White House Says
HuffPost
Trump previously had a relationship with the late disgraced financier, who died in a jail cell in 2019 as he awaited a trial on sex trafficking charges.
President Donald Trump will not recommend a special prosecutor in the investigation of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing Thursday.
“The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels,” Leavitt told reporters, as she confirmed that the idea had been floated to him by someone in the media.
(A special prosecutor is usually relied on in instances where the main prosecutor has a conflict of interest or other issue that would prevent them from being unbiased in a particular case.)
Epstein’s death and his criminal trial, numerous investigations and lawsuits (collectively known as “the Epstein files”) have been the subject of debate for many right-wingers for years. Many have called for the files to be released — and some have — and for an additional investigation into Epstein and who was involved in his alleged sex trafficking.
Trump previously had a relationship with the late disgraced financier, who died in a jail cell in 2019 as he awaited a trial on sex trafficking charges. Last year, while on the campaign trail, Trump claimed at least twice that he would release the Epstein files, but he has since reversed course.
