Event Description
Ken Starr provides a substantive law journal article draft defending Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea agreement, characterizing it as lawfully handled and criticizing federal prosecutors' involvement as overreach. The article argues Epstein was 'subjected to an unprecedented federal intrusion into a quintessentially local criminal matter in south Florida' and defends the resolution reached by state prosecutors as 'reasoned' and 'entirely consistent with that of cases involving other similarly-situated defendants.' Starr directly names Alex Acosta as the then-United States Attorney in south Florida now facing 'assault' for the federal authorities' actions.
Quoted Evidence
“Jeffrey was subjected to an unprecedented federal intrusion into a quintessentially local criminal matter in south Florida... the resolution entirely consistent with that of cases involving other similarly-situated defendants... including now-Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta (then the United States Attorney in south Florida)”
