...In 2007, as several victims were seeking justice, the judge noted that federal prosecutors met with Epstein's lawyers a high-profile group with connections to multiple presidential administrations to discuss keeping the women in the dark.
Acosta met Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, for breakfast on Oct. 12, 2007. Afterward, Lefkowitz thanked him in a letter for agreeing to not contact any victims or their lawyers about the deal, according to court documents....

aren't buying his bullshit though. I was hoping one of the reporters had asked him if he signed off on the agreement since he was US Attorney? He kept saying career prosecutors negotiated the deal, effectively throwing them under the bus while trying to dodge it himself.
