Reporter Questions Why Her Flight Receipts Are Part of Latest Epstein Docs

Monday, December 29, 2025

Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown wrote on X, "Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)?" "As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ monitoring me?" Brown asked. Brown's groundbreaking reporting began in 2017, and was published in The Herald as a three-part investigation called "Perversion of Justice" in November 2018. According to The Herald's website, the series "awakened the world to a decades-long injustice suffered by dozens and perhaps hundreds of young girls, many of whom had never spoken about their abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein."

She made pedo 47 nervous, obviously.

REINHASSEXWITHABOT,

Julie K. Brown wrote in her book "Perversion of Justice" that the Miami Herald, Brown's employer, paid to fly Annie Farmer -- a purported Epstein victim -- to Little Rock, AR in July 2019. The itinerary shows a round-trip flight for a passenger departing from Austin, TX (where Annie Farmer resides), connecting at Dallas Fort Worth, and arriving in Little Rock.

Julie K. Brown now says she personally booked this flight. It stands to reason that the DOJ would've subpoenaed American Airlines, and other entities, for travel records pertaining to Annie Farmer, as she'd been identified as a purported victim of Epstein/Maxwell. It further stands to reason that Julie K. Brown's name would appear in these records, as the person who booked the flight on Annie Farmer's behalf.

So... there you go. Detective work complete -- free of charge. I apologize for any inconvenience; I realize it's way more exciting to dramatically proclaim that the DOJ must've been maliciously "monitoring" the intrepid investigative journalist Julie K. Brown.

(What reason would the Feds have to monitor Julie? Would've been redundant; she was already assisting them voluntarily, as a de facto journalistic agent for SDNY prosecutors. Whom she profusely thanks by name in the "Acknowledgements" section of her book.)

When Trump was elected the following November, she withdrew the lawsuit for fear of her life.

... "Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)?" ...

The mention of someone in the Epstein files does not mean that the person did anything wrong. I would be surprised if there were not many people who are mentioned (multiple times?) in the Epstein files and who have nthing to do with Mr Epstein's crimes.

That said, she is an investigative reporter, and an excellent one at that. Her reporting on Mr Epstein may have drawn the attention of Pres Trump's stated retribution campaign.

More from the cited article ...

... It's now believed that Epstein's victims totaled more than 1,000.

Brown has continued to dig into the controversies surrounding the release of the Epstein files.

"Donald Trump's name is referenced in these documents THOUSANDS of times. Not multiple' -- not hundreds' -- but thousands of times," Brown posted to social media in November, after thousands of files were released.

"This doesn't implicate him in any wrongdoing -/ but it does show that, to some extent, Trump was front and center in Jeffrey Epstein's world." ...

So... there you go. Detective work complete

Hey dumbf*&^, the reporter's travel plans don't pertain to Farmer's.

That is, unless they were monitoring anyone involved in investigating Epstein and his network.

Which is precisely the concerning question here.

F*(&^ing idiot.

imo, at this point, I think it s A Good Thing her name was mentioned in the files.

It shows the thoroughness of the investigation.

Now, when might we pivot back to the "best friend" relationship that Pres trump seems to have had with Mr Epstein ...

#2 Hey OneNut, as an actual investigator, there would be ZERO reason to subpoena a survivor's private flight records, especially since it was years after the reported abuse. Farmer was a high-profile, outspoken advocate for herself and the other survivors. Her travel plans in 2019 were not germane to the cases against Epstein and Maxwell. They were germane to a thin skinned pedophile conman who was worried, rightly so, that the Epstein Files would lead directly to him, as it obviously has. He obviously gave the order to track Farmer and Brown, and that is a CHILLING abuse of power.
