Saturday, September 06, 2025

The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal judge overseeing the case of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to deny a request from NBC News to unseal the names of two associates who received large payments from him in 2018, court documents show.

The Justice Department cited privacy concerns expressed by the two individuals as the reason for not making their names public.

"The first associate received a payment of $100,000 from Epstein and the second associate received a payment of $250,000, both in 2018, days after the Miami Herald began publishing a series of investigative stories where victims criticized a plea deal he received in Florida in 2008.:

Prosecutors wrote that on Nov. 30, 2018, Epstein "wired $100,000 from a trust account he controlled, to an individual named as [REDACTED] a potential co-conspirator " and for whom Epstein obtained protection in " the NPA."

;;
"Prosecutors added that "the same records show that just three days later, on or about December 3, 2018, the defendant wired $250,000 from the same trust account to [REDACTED], who was also named as a potential co-conspirator " and for whom Epstein also obtained protection in " the NPA."

The prosecutors continued:

"This individual is also one of the employees identified in the Indictment, which alleges that she and two other identified employees facilitated the defendant's trafficking of minors by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida."

Trump's Wingman got a Sweetheart Deal from the DOJ protecting witnesses and co-conspirators in this Child Trafficking, and the DOJ is STILL protecting them!

As it turns out, some of the names in the Files are of bigtime political donors, many to prominent Repuglicans, including Speaker Mikey's main squeeze.

Mikey said today that Trump fingered Epstein to the FBI, ffs!

Which is what Michael Wolff said, too; because Trump had screwed Epstein over on a Mansion he was buying that Trump bought instead and then laundered Russian Oligarch money when he sold it... Trump fingered Epstein before Epstein could finger him.

"The Justice Department said in a memo in July that there would be no additional charges filed against uncharged third parties."
