Summary
A June 10, 2009, article from The Palm Beach Post reporting on legal efforts to unseal Jeffrey Epstein's confidential non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors. Attorneys for The Post and victims (including 'E.W.') argue the public has a right to know the details of the 'unprecedented' deal that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state charges and avoid federal prosecution. The article details the sidebar conference where the deal was originally sealed by Judge Pucillo and notes Epstein's connections to high-profile figures like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew.
