Jeffrey Epstein And His Shining Starr

Ken Starr, once known for his independent counsel’s investigation into President Bill Clinton, was later tied to Epstein in essentially the opposite role: legal defense. Starr joined Epstein’s defense team in 2007 just before Epstein’s widely criticized plea-deal in Florida. Starr was “in the room” when then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta negotiated the agreement that allowed Epstein to plead to lesser state charges, serve a relatively light sentence, and avoid a deeper federal trafficking prosecution. Critics argue Starr helped mount what has been described as a “scorched-earth campaign” in which he and Epstein’s attorneys pressured the U.S. Justice Department to drop or reduce charges, undermining accountability for Epstein’s alleged trafficking of minors.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
