Entertainment Ken Starr on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘Was It a Homicide?
Published Fri, Jan 17 2020 … Simpson win acquittal on murder charges, labeled a woman who was raped by boxer Mike Tyson as “hardly the naive virgin she pretended to be,” and famously defended “Queen of Mean” hotelier Leona Helmsley on tax evasion charges.“While we believe it is wholly inappropriate for your office to send this letter under any circumstances, it is certainly inappropriate to issue this letter without affording us the right to review it,” Starr and Lefkowitz wrote Acosta.Federal authorities reopened their investigation of Epstein last January, and arrested him in July over allegations that he paid girls as young as 14 for sex and used them to recruit other girls between 2002 and 2005.“I was a lawyer for Epstein and did what I should do as his lawyer,” Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz has vigorously denied the charges and countersued Guiffre.Starr did not respond to requests for comment. Trump impeachment defense team will include Clinton prosecutor Ken Starr and Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz. A lawsuit brought by Epstein’s victims revealed that Epstein’s attorneys pressured Justice Department officials not to notify Epstein’s victims of the plea agreement.Legal analysts said they are not surprised that Trump was undeterred by the Epstein connections.In a letter to the New York Times in March, soon after federal authorities opened a new sex trafficking investigation of Epstein, Starr and three other attorneys on Epstein’s team argued that the 2008 case was correctly adjudicated by Florida authorities instead of the federal court because of the “absence of evidence that Mr. Epstein used the internet, traveled to a location away from his home for the purpose of having illegal sex, commercially trafficked women to others, engaged in force, fraud or coercion, used drugs or alcohol to entice young women who came to his house to exchange sexual massages for money.”Dershowitz said that over the next several years he would occasionally socialize with Epstein at parties, academic events and even a space shuttle launch.
He states that meeting Epstein was “just about the worst thing that ever happened to me.” He was introduced to Epstein in late 1990s by their mutual friend Lynn Forester de Rothschild while vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard.One letter written by Starr and another attorney on Epstein’s legal team, Jay Lefkowitz, urged Acosta to hold off notifying victims of the plea deal until they could speak with the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division.Starr, a former solicitor general and federal appeals court judge, is best known as the independent counsel who made public the graphic details of President Bill Clinton’s sexual encounters with a White House intern that led to his impeachment. Trump insisted to him that he is unbothered by the Epstein connections, the lawyer said.The White House declined to comment about the attorneys’ Epstein connections, but in the past Trump has sought to minimize his own connections with the convicted sex offender. Epstein was permitted to participate in a work-release program that allowed him to go to his office six days a week for 12 hours a day as he served his sentence.“I wish I had never laid eyes on him,” Dershowitz wrote. “Because I did nothing wrong, I’m not going to let it impact my life. WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the lawyers on President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense team have shared another client: Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr both helped the late hedge fund manager and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein win a lenient sentence for abusing underaged girls. Conservative author Ann Coulter torched President Donald Trump’s defense team, Monday, claiming “Epstein’s lawyer” Ken Starr was trying to “torture the Senate” by boring them. ... I’m going forward, because I know I did absolutely nothing wrong.”The charges came in the aftermath of reporting by the Miami Herald that raised questions about whether there was undue influence that tainted the earlier state and federal criminal investigations. Starr later was forced out of his job at Baylor University amid allegations that the university had mishandled several cases in which football players were accused of attacking women.Fresh media scrutiny of the case led to the resignation of Trump’s labor secretary, Alex Acosta, who was the U.S. attorney in South Florida when Epstein’s 2008 plea deal was negotiated.Epstein, a hedge fund manager who worked with the super wealthy, over the years socialized with Trump, Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew.WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the lawyers on President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense team have shared another client: Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr both helped the late hedge fund manager and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein win a lenient sentence for abusing underaged girls.Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor emeritus, helped O.J.
