Brad Edwards knows that what you are about to read may be difficult for some to accept.
A victims' rights lawyer from Florida, Edwards has been in pursuit of the truth about financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's life and crimes for nearly two decades. He would be the first to say that Epstein caused incalculable damage and trauma to hundreds of women and girls.
In fact, long before Epstein became known worldwide for his crimes, Edwards presciently told a federal judge, "Because of [Epstein's] deviant appetite for young girls, combined with his extraordinary wealth and power, he may just be the most dangerous sexual predator in U.S. history."
That was 17 years ago. Back then, hardly anyone listened. In the years since, Edwards and his co-counsel -- on behalf of Epstein's victims -- have sued Epstein, his estate, the federal government and several financial institutions, recovering hundreds of millions of dollars for more than 200 survivors of Epstein's sex abuse and trafficking. He knows the victims' stories as well as anyone and, in the course of all the litigation, he has reviewed an expansive amount of non-public documents and evidence related to the late Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking of minors.

OP
After Trump, Bill Barr might have been the happiest to see Epstein carted to the morgue.

Outstanding Journalist -- and she worked as a singleton, alone on a story fraught with danger from ALL sides.

To be clear, Giuffre never accused Trump of any inappropriate conduct toward her.

Only a few new details, we knew most of this in 2016, right? Why does nothing ever bring him down?
