Dershowitz Wrote To Pulitzer Committee To Block Julie K. Brown

But she finally got a special citation from the Pulitzer Committee this year for her work.

By Susie Madrak — May 5, 2026
Journalist Julie K. Brown has received a special citation from the Pulitzer Prize committee for her work regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

A longtime investigative reporter at the Miami Herald, Brown spent years digging into the sweetheart plea deal prosecutors gave Palm Beach billionaire for his sex crimes. Her work eventually led to Epstein’s arrest in 2019.

On Monday, Pulitzer administrator Marjorie Miller announced Brown’s special citation during the livestreamed Pulitzer awards ceremony. Brown’s work in 2017 and 2018, “gives voice to the scores of victims that had been groomed and abused” by Epstein, Miller said.

Pretty heady stuff. A single principled lawyer standing up to the might of the government.

His latest book is about how Donald Trump could twist the law to stay in office after his term ends, despite what the Constitution says.

What the hell happened to this guy?

"Oh, you do such good work, you're so smart. So I'd like you to come to this casual party I'm having at the Cliff House Friday night - great view of the city at night, interesting people." And at that party - "Hey, I have this little problem, could you help explain it to me over drinks in my office? Gee thanks - and hey, the masseuse is here, want a massage?"

of reducing the age of consent to 15, maybe younger. Why not eleven or nine. That way he and his buddies can have all the sex they want with young girls with no concern for ramifications. If a pregnancy occurs, well, let the pregnant child deal with it. He's a pedophile, with or without underwear. Men with small dicks think with small minds.

reason--and not just because he lies about Democrats and promotes Trump. It must just kill him to know how many of his colleagues, including Lawrence Tribe, are held in great respect at and beyond Harvard, and he is clearly NOT. I have little doubt he is implicated beyond his "underwear..."

Go to hell, Dershowitz--Maybe those there will roll out the red carpet you think those of Martha's Vineyard or Cape Cod will not.

found on wikipedia:

In April 2019, Alan Dershowitz (an associate of Epstein who was one of his attorneys during his criminal investigation in 2006-2008) tried to pressure the Pulitzer Prize committee to shut out Brown and the Miami Herald for her investigative reporting that reopened the Epstein case.[22][23] In an open letter Dershowitz wrote that Brown should not be rewarded for her work. She was not.[24][25] At the start of her investigative reporting on Epstein, Brown had been warned by former Police Chief Michael Reiter to expect pushback as other members of the media who attempted to report on Epstein had been reassigned following a phone call to their publisher.[14] Reiter stated “Somebody’s going to call your publisher and the next thing you know you are going to be assigned to the obituaries department.”

... is, was, and always will be a lowlife weasel who thinks that currying favor with the likes of Trump and Epstein affords him some kind of special dispensation, and a get-out-of-jail-free card. Guess again, asshole.

They gave a peace prize to a women who encouraged pedo Trump to attack her own country, bomb her fellow citizens, put a dictator in charge who gives away her country's oil wealth to pedo Trump, and then gives away her prize to a warmongering demented psychopath.

And that may friends is considered encouraging peace by the Pulitzer committee.
