Former Virgin Islands AG Says Governor Forced Her To Allow Epstein Onto Island

  • The former U.S. Virgin Islands attorney general revealed in court documents made public Monday that the governor of the territory pressured her to give convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein special treatment.
  • In July statements under oath, Denise George testified that Democratic Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. pressured her in 2019 to issue a special waiver to Epstein, which she denied to do, that would allow him to enter the Virgin Islands despite his sex offender status that prevented his entry, according to court documents.
  • Bryan fired George unexpectedly in December, four days after her office sued JPMorgan Chase over its dealings with Epstein, according to The New York Times.
