Miami U.S. Attorney Recuses from Epstein Case Amid Claims of Prosecutorial Misconduct and Sealed Plea Deal
Summary
Miami U.S. Attorney Recuses from Epstein Case Amid Claims of Prosecutorial Misconduct and Sealed Plea Deal The passage reveals that the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office recused itself from the Jeffrey Epstein case, cites a sealed plea agreement overseen by former Attorney Alexander Acosta (appointed by Trump), mentions a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility probe, and references victims' rights violations. These details provide concrete leads—names, agencies, and procedural actions—that merit further investigation into possible misconduct, cover‑ups, and the role of high‑level officials. Key insights: Miami U.S. Attorney's Office recused itself from the Epstein case and reassigned it to the Atlanta office.; Former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, a Trump appointee, allegedly met privately with Epstein’s lawyers to seal the plea deal.; Victims allege DOJ violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by not informing them of the plea agreement.

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict The passage provides concrete names (Jeffrey Sloman, Acosta, Lefkowitz, Starr) and dates (2008, 2013) showing possible obstruction of victim notifications in the Epstein case, suggesting a lead for investigating DOJ and FBI decision‑making. While it ties high‑level officials, the claim of pressure from Epstein’s attorneys is not yet corroborated, limiting the score to the high‑mid range. Key insights: Jeffrey Sloman, top aide to U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, planned to notify Epstein victims after a plea deal was signed.; Lefkowitz warned Acosta that the office had promised not to contact victims or potential claimants.; Federal prosecutors resumed the FBI investigation and interviewed witnesses in NY and NM while plea negotiations continued.
