Palm Beach Police Chief Mike Reiter pushes for State Attorney's recusal in Epstein case
Summary
Palm Beach Police Chief Mike Reiter pushes for State Attorney's recusal in Epstein case The passage reveals that Chief Mike Reiter, a senior law‑enforcement official with a top‑secret clearance, formally urged Miami‑Dade State Attorney Barry Krischer to consider disqualification from prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein. It suggests a possible internal conflict or political pressure within the prosecution of a high‑profile case, offering a concrete name, date (May 1), and action (letter). While it does not disclose new financial flows or illicit conduct, it provides a specific lead for further inquiry into why a senior police chief would seek the prosecutor’s removal and whether any external influence was at play. Key insights: Reiter wrote a May 1 letter to State Attorney Barry Krischer calling his handling of the Epstein case "highly unusual" and urging recusal.; Reiter referred the Epstein matter to the FBI for potential federal violations.; Reiter holds a top‑secret national security clearance and has a background in investigations involving wealthy individuals.
