• A lawyer for several women who say they were victims of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking why the FBI “utterly failed” to investigate the well-connected financier.
• The letter, sent this week to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, says that the FBI knew about allegations about Epstein back in the 1990s but failed to take any substantial action.
• “As counsel to many survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy, we write regarding the failure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to properly, adequately, or timely investigate the sex trafficking of hundreds of girls and young women,” a letter from lawyer Jennifer Freeman says.
