Summary
This document is an excerpt from a news story or report produced by the House Oversight Committee detailing the career transition of Bruce Reinhart from Assistant U.S. Attorney in South Florida to a defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein's employees. It highlights the controversy surrounding his move on January 2, 2008 (one day after leaving the DOJ), subsequent accusations of ethical violations for 'switching sides,' and the U.S. Attorney's Office's claim that he did possess confidential information about the case despite his denials. The text specifically notes Reinhart represented Epstein's pilots, scheduler Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcinkova.

Epstein also hired Bruce Reinhart, then an assistant U.S. attorney in South Florida, now a U.S. magistrate. He left the U.S. Attorney’s Office on Jan. 1, 2008, and went to work representing Epstein’s employees on Jan. 2, 2008, court records show. In 2011, Reinhart was named in the Crime Victims’ Rights Act lawsuit, which accused him of violating Justice Department policies by switching sides, implying that he leveraged inside information about Epstein’s investigation to curry favor with Epstein.
Reinhart, in a sworn declaration attached to the CVRA case, denied the allegation, saying he did not participate in Epstein’s criminal case and “never learned any confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has since disputed that, saying in court papers that he did possess confidential information about the case.
Contacted for this story, Reinhart, in an email, said he never represented Epstein — only Epstein’s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia Marcinkova, described by some victims as Epstein’s sex slave. Reinhart also pointed out that a complaint filed against him by victims’ lawyer Paul Cassell was dismissed by the Justice Department.
