NEW YORK, July 23 (Reuters) - Financier Jeffrey Epstein has appealed a federal judge's decision to keep him in jail while he awaits trial on sex trafficking charges.

According to a court filing made public on Tuesday, Epstein will ask the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn the judge's July 18 rejection of his request to remain under house arrest in his mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

In denying bail, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan expressed concern that Epstein's "past sexual conduct is not likely to have abated," and that there might be "new victims" if Epstein were released.

Epstein has pleaded not guilty.

1. He isnt going anywhere.

[leftieNanner]

4. I hope you are right

If Mitch stacked that court with unqualified idiots, I dear what might happen.

7. I know, I hope even they wouldn't mess around here.

But they are so corrupt you never know.

5. Nope, but his lawyers have to "earn their keep"...

8. True.

2. Wah wah

Now, if the appeal wins? NOTHING WOULD SURPRISE ME!

[FBaggins]

3. The judge also determined that he's a flight risk

Hard to see how he beats that.

14. Exactly.

6. I smell a Trump pardon. n/t

[jberryhill]

9. Why?

Manafort hasn't gotten one. Flynn hasn't gotten one. Stone hasn't gotten one.

For what possible reason would Trump pardon Epstein?

Epstein has not been charged with anything involving Trump - which is a different situation that Manafort, Flynn and Stone.

10. tRUMP isn't going to pardon any of those traitors before the 2020 election. nt

[AtheistCrusader]

13. Yeah, if Trump pardoned him, that would signal a direct connection between the two

in which Epstein would have some horrible information that would give him the upper hand.

There's no way Trump pardons this creature. No way. I can't even see him doing it in his last days in office.

17. I guess we'll have to ask Putin to find out "why." nt

[Brother Buzz]

12. The orange anus already threw Jeffrey Epstein under the bus

There is no upside, nothing to gain, by pardoning him.

[patphil]

15. No Trump pardon coming here.

Epstein's too toxic, even for Trump.
It would cost him many votes in the middle that he thinks he might otherwise get.
After the election, if he wins, it may be possible.
Trump would hold that out for Epstein to get him to keep a lid on any damaging evidence he might have that could implicate Trump, or any of his friends or family.
