I have to be direct -- you or someone at your paper was very astute in checking the Clerk and Comptroller's computer and activity in the Epstein case two days before the hearing. As result, you sent me a text message on Saturday asking what the activity was about and I confirmed that the plea would take place. You were the only member of the news media that I talked with.

Epstein's legal team included West Palm Beach defense attorney Jack Goldberger, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended O.J. Simpson against murder charges, and Kenneth Starr, the prosecutor who pursued then-President Bill Clinton for lying about sex with young women. Palm Beach police spent 11 months investigating Epstein before State Attorney Barry Krischer sent the case to a grand jury, instead of charging Epstein so the man who once boasted of accepting only billionaire clients HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031217
