  Prince Andrew Takes Police to Court Over Epstein Files Arrest (10/5/26) 05.10.2026 20min

  Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor launched a legal challenge against Thames Valley Police over the search warrants used during his February 2026 arrest in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. The former Duke of York, who was arrested at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate on his 66th birthday and questioned for almost 12 hours on suspicion of misconduct in public office, asked the High Court to review whether police acted lawfully when they obtained warrants to search Marsh Farm and his former residence at Royal Lodge. Detectives spent several days searching the properties and seized documents and other material. The investigation stemmed from Epstein-related records that reportedly suggested Andrew may have provided Epstein with sensitive government information while serving as Britain’s special representative for trade between 2001 and 2011, including reports about overseas visits and a confidential briefing concerning investment opportunities in Afghanistan. Andrew had not been charged and remained under investigation.Andrew’s legal team was specifically challenging the validity of the warrants rather than simply contesting the broader investigation, and a High Court judge had already granted permission for the judicial review to proceed. A private hearing was scheduled to determine whether documents connected to that challenge should be released. The investigation itself was also facing complications because, according to the report, the U.S. Justice Department had not provided British authorities with unredacted versions of relevant Epstein records, potentially leaving investigators dependent on a lengthy formal international request. Thames Valley Police had meanwhile widened its inquiry to include allegations of sexual misconduct and appealed for additional witnesses to come forward. The case therefore placed Andrew in the unusual position of simultaneously remaining the subject of an active Epstein-related police investigation while asking the courts to rule that some of the investigative measures used against him were unlawful.to contact me:[email protected]:Exclusive: Andrew takes police to court over Epstein files arrestBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Dr. Michael Freeman Challenges the Forensic Record in Jeffrey Epstein’s Death (10/5/26) 05.10.2026 10min

  A forensic-medicine professor who reviewed Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy records was preparing to present findings that could challenge the official conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019. Michael Freeman, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, examined autopsy materials obtained from Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, and conducted what he described as a biomechanical analysis of the ligature pattern. Freeman said the case contained unusual features for a suicide investigation, including the absence of photographs of Epstein’s body at the death scene and the fact that the ligature itself was not preserved or examined. He also reviewed images that he said showed injuries that were not accounted for by the medical examiner, though he had not yet publicly disclosed his ultimate conclusion.Mark Epstein said Freeman’s work reinforced his long-standing belief that his brother’s death deserved a deeper investigation and argued that a more detailed scientific review at the time could have produced a different conclusion. Freeman was expected to present his findings at University College London in November 2026 and later publish the research alongside the autopsy files. He stressed that Epstein’s death could only be explained as either suicide or homicide and said his presentation would weigh the evidence supporting both possibilities. The development added another layer to the years of questions surrounding Epstein’s death, particularly because of the documented failures at the jail and the continuing disputes over the forensic evidence.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And Christmas Eve Judicial Smack Down (10/5/26) 05.10.2026 50min

  On Christmas Eve 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell suffered another major setback in her effort to get out of jail when Judge Alison Nathan denied her renewed bail application. Maxwell’s lawyers had presented an extraordinary package worth roughly $28.5 million when all pledged assets and guarantees were counted, coupled with home confinement, electronic monitoring, private security, surrender of passports and other restrictions designed to convince the court that she would remain in the United States and appear for trial. The timing added another layer of drama to a bail fight that had already become one of the most closely watched parts of the case, but the size of the package did not change the central question before the court: whether Maxwell could be trusted not to flee.Judge Nathan concluded that she could not. The court remained focused on Maxwell’s substantial financial resources, international ties, multiple citizenships, history of moving between countries and the serious prison exposure she faced if convicted. Those factors outweighed the defense’s argument that the proposed conditions were restrictive enough to eliminate the danger of flight. So, on December 24, 2020, while Maxwell’s attorneys were pushing an increasingly elaborate argument that money, monitoring and personal guarantees should be enough, the court again determined that the risk was simply too great. Maxwell remained locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with the Christmas Eve ruling making clear that even one of the largest and most restrictive bail proposals imaginable was not enough to overcome the judge’s concerns that she might disappear before trial.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Was A Risk To Flee The Country According To The Court (10/5/26) 05.10.2026 1h 1min

  Ghislaine Maxwell’s proposed bail package was enormous by almost any measure. Her lawyers offered roughly $22.5 million in assets, including property and financial guarantees backed by Maxwell, her husband, family members and friends, while also proposing home confinement, electronic monitoring, restrictions on travel, surrender of passports and round-the-clock private security. At various points, the defense also floated extraordinary concessions involving her British and French citizenship in an effort to convince the court that she had effectively put everything on the line. The package was designed to show that fleeing would come at a devastating financial and personal cost, and Maxwell’s attorneys repeatedly argued that the combination of money, monitoring and third-party guarantees made escape unrealistic.The court was not persuaded because the issue was never simply how much money Maxwell was willing to pledge. Prosecutors argued that she had extraordinary financial resources, international connections, multiple citizenships, experience living abroad and the ability to move between countries, all of which made her a uniquely serious flight risk. Judge Alison Nathan agreed, concluding that even a multimillion-dollar bail package and unusually restrictive conditions could not adequately guarantee Maxwell’s appearance in court. The sheer size of the proposal actually underscored the problem: this was a defendant with access to wealth and international mobility on a scale far beyond the ordinary criminal case, and the court ultimately determined that no amount of money or privately funded security could sufficiently neutralize that risk.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Alan Dershowitz And The Many Epstein Related Lawsuits (10/4/26) 05.10.2026 54min

  Alan Dershowitz’s Epstein-related litigation largely grew out of Virginia Giuffre’s allegation that Jeffrey Epstein had trafficked her to him for sex, an accusation Dershowitz consistently denied. The first major legal battle came in 2015, after Giuffre’s attorneys Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell included allegations against Dershowitz in court filings. Edwards and Cassell sued Dershowitz for defamation after he publicly accused them of misconduct and dishonesty, and Dershowitz responded with his own counterclaims accusing the two lawyers of defaming him through the allegations and their public statements. That litigation was settled in 2016. The fight exploded again in 2019 when Giuffre sued Dershowitz for defamation after he repeatedly called her a liar; Dershowitz countersued, alleging that Giuffre’s accusations were false and defamatory and claiming that her lawyers, particularly David Boies and his firm, had pushed a fabricated narrative against him. The litigation ultimately became intertwined with a separate defamation fight involving Boies, who sued Dershowitz over accusations Dershowitz had made about his conduct.Dershowitz also took his fight directly to the media. In 2021, he filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Netflix and the producers of Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, arguing that the documentary prominently repeated Giuffre’s allegations while failing to present evidence he said disproved them and violating assurances that his side of the story would be fairly included. The Netflix litigation was dismissed with prejudice in March 2022 after both sides agreed to drop their claims. Later that year, the much larger Giuffre-Dershowitz legal war also ended: in November 2022 the parties dismissed their claims with prejudice, with no monetary payment, and Giuffre issued a statement saying she recognized that she “may have made a mistake” in identifying Dershowitz. Taken together, Dershowitz used counterclaims and affirmative defamation litigation against Giuffre, her lawyers and the producers who broadcast her allegations as part of a years-long legal campaign to challenge the Epstein-related accusations against him, but none of those cases produced a trial verdict adjudicating whether the underlying sexual-abuse allegation was true or false.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mark Epstein Expresses His Doubts About The DOJ's New Found Interest In Ghislaine Maxwell 05.10.2026 14min

  Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s younger brother, responded to the DOJ’s announcement that it is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell by doubling down on his longtime suspicion that his brother’s official death was a homicide, not a suicide. He criticized the Department’s video release and other materials as misleading or incomplete, stating that they omit crucial evidence—for example, he disputes that the footage even shows Epstein’s actual cell, saying “that video is bullshit.” Mark also reiterated his belief that government agencies are withholding details, insisting that “they’re holding things back” and that meaningful transparency remains absent.Despite the DOJ’s shift toward engaging Maxwell—which it says may be key to identifying additional perpetrators—Mark remains doubtful that any forthcoming testimony or disclosures will address the core mysteries: who orchestrated his brother’s death and whether the full scope of Epstein’s network will ever be revealed. As Maxwell and her legal team negotiate the terms of her cooperation, Mark continues to call for a full reopening of the investigation into Jeffrey’s death and broader transparency around Epstein-related evidence.to contact me:Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims the true motive behind Trump's DOJ meeting Ghislaine Maxwell is nothing to do with 'what she knows' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mark Epstein Has His Doubts About The Official Narrative Surrounding His Brothers Demise 05.10.2026 15min

  Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s younger brother, has repeatedly questioned the official conclusion that Jeffrey died by suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. Mark has said that the circumstances surrounding the death never made sense to him, pointing to the failures inside the jail, the lack of functioning surveillance footage covering key areas, the removal of Epstein’s cellmate shortly before his death and the fact that guards failed to perform required checks. He has also emphasized the findings of forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, whom Mark hired to observe the autopsy. Baden said several fractures in Epstein’s neck were more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging, although he did not say those injuries conclusively proved murder. The New York City medical examiner nevertheless ruled Epstein’s death a suicide, and federal authorities have continued to stand by that conclusion.Over the years, Mark has argued that the unanswered questions have only multiplied rather than disappeared. He has questioned why his brother would have killed himself while actively fighting the charges, why critical jail procedures collapsed at exactly the wrong moment and why the government has not produced evidence that he believes would definitively settle what happened. More recent disclosures, including the emergence in 2026 of a purported handwritten note allegedly left by Epstein after his earlier July 2019 suicide attempt, have added another unusual element to the story, although the Justice Department said the note had not been authenticated and federal investigators had apparently never seen it. Mark has never produced definitive evidence proving that his brother was murdered, but he has remained one of the most persistent public critics of the official account, maintaining that the extraordinary failures and inconsistencies surrounding Epstein’s final hours warrant far more scrutiny than the government’s suicide determination has received.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Transcripts (Day 3 Part 4) (10/4/26) 04.10.2026 11min

  Day three of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing focused largely on what happened after Robinson turned himself in following the killing of Charlie Kirk. Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent Brian Davis testified that he was sent to St. George after authorities learned that a man was preparing to surrender in connection with the shooting. Davis said Robinson arrived at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with his parents and family friend Mike Mitchell, was formally arrested in the early morning hours of September 12, and later had his phone, clothing, fingerprints and DNA collected pursuant to warrants and booking procedures. Davis also testified about searches of Robinson’s parents’ home and the residence Robinson shared with Lance Twiggs. The hearing additionally touched on a live .223 round found on the roof of a different campus building, though testimony indicated that location did not have a clear line of sight to where Kirk was shot.A major portion of the shortened hearing was consumed by a fight over whether prosecutors could publicly play a recorded interview with Twiggs, Robinson’s roommate and romantic partner. Davis testified that Twiggs had been interviewed twice and had been granted limited use immunity for his statements. Prosecutors wanted to introduce the later recorded interview with relatively few restrictions, while Robinson’s attorneys argued that large portions should be redacted to protect his right to a fair trial and prevent potentially prejudicial material from being widely circulated before a jury was ever selected. The Kirk family’s attorney argued in favor of greater public access, while Judge Tony Graf said he had to balance transparency against Robinson’s constitutional rights. Graf ultimately directed prosecutors to return with an edited version of the video, leaving the dispute to carry over into the next day of the preliminary hearing.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  DOJ Moves to End Katie Phang’s Epstein Files Lawsuit (Part 4) (10/4/26) 04.10.2026 14min

  This is Document 52-1 in Phang v. Blanche, filed October 1, 2026, and it is the DOJ’s Memorandum in Support of its Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. In plain terms, Todd Blanche and the Justice Department are asking Judge Emmet Sullivan to end Katie Phang’s case without further factual development because, in their view, her claims fail as a matter of law. The DOJ’s core argument is that the Epstein Files Transparency Act does not give private citizens a right to sue to enforce it. The government says Congress deliberately created reporting and oversight mechanisms involving Congress and the Federal Register, but did not create a private cause of action. It also argues that Phang lacks Article III standing because her alleged injury is no different from that of any other member of the public who wants the government to comply with the law. Her status as a journalist, and her argument that withheld or redacted Epstein material harms her reporting and professional interests, is dismissed by DOJ as too speculative to establish a concrete and particularized injury. The filing further contends that the Administrative Procedure Act cannot be used as a workaround because FOIA already provides an adequate judicial remedy for people seeking government records.The DOJ also attacks Phang’s claims on the merits. It argues that courts may compel only agency actions that are specifically and unequivocally required by law, and says the EFTA does not require the precise actions Phang is demanding. The Department defends its redactions, saying the statute expressly permits withholding victim-identifying information and that the Privacy Act independently requires protection of certain personal information. It rejects Phang’s position that the newer Epstein statute displaced those privacy protections, arguing the two laws must be read together. The government also says the EFTA contains no specific requirement that DOJ translate, review and produce foreign-language documents, and maintains that doing so would require immense resources and falls outside any clear statutory command. Taken together, the filing is a broad attempt to knock out the case at the threshold: no private right of action, no standing, no enforceable APA claim, no unlawful redactions, no mandatory obligation to produce foreign-language material, and no viable ultra vires or Declaratory Judgment Act claim. DOJ is asking Sullivan to enter judgment for Blanche and effectively terminate Phang’s lawsuit on the pleadings.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Asks The Court To Serve Her Sentence In The UK (10/5/26) 04.10.2026 48min

  After Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced in June 2022 to 20 years in federal prison for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse operation, her family publicly pushed for her to eventually serve the remainder of that sentence in the United Kingdom. Maxwell, who holds British citizenship and spent much of her early life in England, was eligible in principle to seek a transfer under international prisoner-transfer procedures, although such a move was never automatic. Her brother Ian Maxwell said the family wanted her returned to Britain, arguing that she was fundamentally British and would be closer to relatives there. At the time, her supporters also pointed to her complaints about conditions in U.S. federal custody as another reason for pursuing a transfer.Any transfer, however, would have required approval from both the United States and British governments and would not have altered Maxwell’s underlying 20-year sentence. British guidance makes clear that prisoners serving sentences abroad have no automatic right to be transferred home, and both countries must agree before such a request can be granted. Maxwell’s sentencing judgment committed her to the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, with the court recommending placement at FCI Danbury, meaning the decision about where she served her sentence initially rested with U.S. prison authorities rather than with Maxwell herself. The effort to return her to Britain was therefore a request to change the country in which she served her punishment, not an attempt to erase or shorten the conviction imposed in New York.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: The Propaganda Surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell's Bail Attempt (10/4/26) 04.10.2026 1h 2min

  Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team laid it on thick during her repeated push for bail, presenting her less like a defendant facing extraordinarily serious allegations and more like the victim of an uncontrollable media campaign created by Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. From the beginning, the defense insisted that Maxwell had been unfairly turned into a substitute for Epstein after his death, emphasizing that she was “not Jeffrey Epstein,” portraying press coverage as threatening and prejudicial, highlighting her relationships with family and friends, and arguing that she had remained in the United States despite knowing she was under investigation. As the bail battle continued, the rhetoric became even more dramatic. Her attorneys described the government’s case as weak and largely untested, complained that her detention prevented her from adequately preparing for trial, and portrayed prosecutors as standing in the way of a “fair fight.” They repeatedly emphasized the presumption of innocence while surrounding Maxwell with character references, descriptions of her personal hardships and arguments that the public narrative surrounding her had essentially poisoned the well before she ever entered a courtroom.The centerpiece of that campaign was an enormous proposed bail package that Maxwell’s lawyers portrayed as practically foolproof. They stressed that she was prepared to put approximately $22.5 million in assets at risk, surrender her passports and potentially her British and French citizenship, submit to round-the-clock private security and electronic monitoring, and expose millions of dollars belonging to friends and relatives if she fled. Her attorneys called the proposal “unprecedented” and argued that it came as close to guaranteeing her appearance as any bail arrangement possibly could. Prosecutors saw something very different: a wealthy defendant with extensive international connections, multiple citizenships, substantial financial resources and the means to disappear, whose increasingly elaborate bail packages did not eliminate the underlying flight risk. Judge Alison Nathan ultimately agreed with the government and kept Maxwell detained pending trial. In other words, Maxwell’s defense did not merely argue the mechanics of bail; it constructed an entire counternarrative around her, presenting her as besieged by the press, mistreated in custody and willing to surrender virtually everything she possessed, while attempting to shift attention away from the very circumstances that prosecutors said made her such an exceptional flight risk in the first place.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Ted Waitt told the House Oversight Committee that he met Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein at a Hong Kong dinner in November 2003 and began dating Maxwell the following year, remaining in a relationship with her until September 2010. Waitt portrayed his own contact with Epstein as extremely limited, saying he had only a brief introduction at the dinner, one arranged meeting at Maxwell’s New York residence and two later chance encounters. He said he never communicated with Epstein by phone or email and had no business or financial relationship with him. Waitt testified that Maxwell described Epstein positively as a brilliant investor and money manager and told him that, after their romantic relationship ended, she continued working as an estate manager overseeing his properties and staff.Waitt said he wanted Maxwell to stop working for Epstein because Epstein was her former boyfriend, but claimed he had no knowledge at the time of their criminal conduct and never witnessed abuse, coercion or trafficking. He repeatedly said he could not confirm how much work Maxwell continued doing for Epstein while they dated, despite their seven-year relationship, and he denied knowing whether Epstein manipulated or abused her. Waitt also acknowledged that Maxwell had been around his four children, three of whom were girls, and said that had he known then what he knows now, he never would have befriended her or allowed her near them.

  Ghislaine Maxwell And Her Audacious Attendance At A Human Trafficking Charity Event 04.10.2026 21min

  In 2013, Ghislaine Maxwell brazenly appeared at a high-profile charity gala billed as a front-line defense against human trafficking—an event meant to spotlight and dismantle the very horrors she was complicit in. Photographs from that night show her mingling with celebrities, donors, and advocates, all under the banner of fighting exploitation. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, Maxwell was actively orchestrating the grooming and trafficking of underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein’s operation. The optics were more than tone-deaf—they were a calculated performance, designed to mask her role in facilitating one of the most notorious abuse networks in modern memory .What makes this moment particularly disturbing is not just the contradiction of Maxwell’s presence—it’s how effectively it highlights systemic blind spots in elite philanthropic spaces. This was not a case of someone unknowingly adjacent to wrongdoing; this was a woman under serious suspicion of trafficking-related conduct attending an event explicitly aimed at combating that very crime. Her attendance underscores how wealth, social standing, and calculated public appearances can insulate individuals from scrutiny, even when their private behavior directly conflicts with the cause they publicly support. It raises serious questions about how easily well-connected individuals can exploit the reputational shield of charitable involvement to deflect accountability and delay exposure.To contact me:[email protected]:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8827667/Ghislaine-Maxwell-pictured-charity-event-stop-sex-trafficking.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Ghislaine Maxwell And The Civil Case That Was Stopped Due To Her Indictment 04.10.2026 24min

  A federal magistrate judge temporarily spared Ghislaine Maxwell from having to sit for a deposition or answer written questions in a civil lawsuit brought by Annie Farmer, who alleged that Maxwell sexually assaulted her when she was 16 at Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch. Maxwell’s lawyers sought the delay by pointing to the ongoing federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators and the possibility that Farmer’s claims could instead be resolved through the compensation program being established by Epstein’s estate. Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman agreed to pause Maxwell’s discovery obligations for the time being, but made clear the reprieve was temporary, saying she did not want the matter to drag on indefinitely and ordering the parties to update the court on the status of the criminal investigation and claims process. Farmer’s attorney, Sigrid McCawley, opposed the delay, arguing that preventing her from questioning Maxwell effectively hamstrung Farmer’s ability to build her civil case.The ruling came during a period when Maxwell had largely disappeared from public view and her whereabouts were unknown. Her attorney, Laura Menninger, continued to deny Farmer’s allegations and argued that Maxwell was being financially drained by the mounting litigation, claiming she was not a multimillionaire and had to pay for her own defense. At the same time, Maxwell had sued Epstein’s estate seeking reimbursement for legal expenses and personal security costs, contending that Epstein had promised to financially support her. The broader fight was also tangled up with negotiations over Epstein’s roughly $634 million estate and its proposed victims’ compensation program, which had been delayed by objections from the U.S. Virgin Islands attorney general over protections for victims and broad releases that could shield other alleged abusers.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Transcripts (Day 3 Part 3) (10/2/26) 03.10.2026 12min

  Day three of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing focused largely on what happened after Robinson turned himself in following the killing of Charlie Kirk. Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent Brian Davis testified that he was sent to St. George after authorities learned that a man was preparing to surrender in connection with the shooting. Davis said Robinson arrived at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with his parents and family friend Mike Mitchell, was formally arrested in the early morning hours of September 12, and later had his phone, clothing, fingerprints and DNA collected pursuant to warrants and booking procedures. Davis also testified about searches of Robinson’s parents’ home and the residence Robinson shared with Lance Twiggs. The hearing additionally touched on a live .223 round found on the roof of a different campus building, though testimony indicated that location did not have a clear line of sight to where Kirk was shot.A major portion of the shortened hearing was consumed by a fight over whether prosecutors could publicly play a recorded interview with Twiggs, Robinson’s roommate and romantic partner. Davis testified that Twiggs had been interviewed twice and had been granted limited use immunity for his statements. Prosecutors wanted to introduce the later recorded interview with relatively few restrictions, while Robinson’s attorneys argued that large portions should be redacted to protect his right to a fair trial and prevent potentially prejudicial material from being widely circulated before a jury was ever selected. The Kirk family’s attorney argued in favor of greater public access, while Judge Tony Graf said he had to balance transparency against Robinson’s constitutional rights. Graf ultimately directed prosecutors to return with an edited version of the video, leaving the dispute to carry over into the next day of the preliminary hearing.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
