“Who is this guy again?”
Journalists Julie Brown and Emily Michot were in a restaurant in St. Thomas, waiting for a source who called himself Chef James.
His emails suggested he knew a lot about Jeffrey Epstein.
But Emily was getting nervous. 🧵 trib.al/G0YMB2F

Chef James had told Julie, for example, that while Epstein was on work release at the Palm Beach County jail in 2008, he spent over $100,000 in catering bills for his “office.”
A lot of that food went to deputies who were making upwards of $42 an hour monitoring him.

That night, as they were waiting, Brown was texting with Lauren Book, a Florida state senator and child abuse survivor who had become involved in pushing for a probe into whether there was any wrongdoing on the part of the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office in connection with Epstein.

BREAKING: Judge in Jeffrey Epstein who has refused to release grand jury records has ties to those with a stake in keeping them secret. #perversionofjustice miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…
The judge's daughter works for Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg, her son works for Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and she herself worked for ex-state attorney Barry Krischer, who did not want to charge Epstein with child-sex offenses.
In addition, the judge has bowed under political pressure before: She backed out of running for state attorney in 2012 after she was warned by Aronberg's political operatives that several lawyers were preparing to file an ethics complaint against her.
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein hobnobbed with scientists, politicians, academics and a prince.
But it's his former cellmate — a cop and alleged quadruple murderer — who's the subject of a secretive legal drama. hrld.us/3cyqVgM

NEW: by New York Times @nyt -- A child victim's abuse by an acclaimed writer leads to criminal probe & fuels debate over a culture in France that allowed (and even celebrated) men who have sex with children. nyti.ms/2FsPJYg #jeffreyepstein #perversionofjustice
@NYT This story explains a lot about how and why #jeffreyepstein was allowed to abuse children in France. It was so accepted, apparently, that one of his friends sent him two 12-year-old girls to have sex with as a birthday present!!
@NYT from the NYT: "The former host of France’s most famous literary television program struggled to explain why he and other guests...laughed...at Mr. Matzneff’s preferences for minors...a few [people]still came to his defense, including the former book editor of Le Monde."

ABC was not the only media outlet that quashed the Epstein story. There were many others, as NPR's @DavidFolkenflik reported months ago. thedailybeast.com/amy-robach-abc… via @thedailybeast
@davidfolkenflik @thedailybeast One of the reasons I had trouble getting sources to cooperate with me on this story is that so many news outlets had bailed on the story that they were tired of talking to reporters who didn't do anything with it. I had to convince them that the Herald WAS going to print it.
@davidfolkenflik @thedailybeast My editor @caseyfrank1 had to assure one of the key sources in my series, who had never spoken publicly, that we were NOT going to be intimidated by the Alan Dershowitz's and Prince Andrews' and other powerful people connected to the story. #PerversionofJustice #localjournalism
ICYMI: Jeffrey Epstein's death was ruled a suicide by hanging in August.
The medical examiner stands by that ruling.
But a forensic pathologist hired by Epstein's brother says the injuries look more like strangulation than suicide.
