Alan Dershowitz still provides legal advice to serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he confirmed to Axios.
– “He has called me a couple of times about legal issues, because I’m still technically his lawyer,” Dershowitz told me in a phone interview on Saturday. “But I haven’t had any social, or any other kind of contact. … You never stop being a person’s lawyer.”
Background: Dershowitz helped Epstein get a sweetheart plea deal from then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta (now Donald Trump’s labor secretary and a rumored long-shot contender for attorney general).
– A bombshell Miami Herald investigative series last week highlighted for the first time the extent of Epstein’s alleged crimes and the soft treatment he received from federal prosecutors.
– The Palm Beach multimillionaire would “serve just 13 months in the county jail, but the deal — called a non-prosecution agreement — essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe into whether there were more victims and other powerful people who took part in Epstein’s sex crimes,” according to a Miami Herald examination of thousands of emails, court documents and FBI records.
Dozens of women alleged that Epstein molested and raped them when they were underaged using a sophisticated human trafficking network. A civil trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday in Palm Beach County that may finally let these women tell their stories in court.
Behind the scenes: While he was allegedly raping teenage girls, Epstein cultivated cozy relationships with America’s elites.
– Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane, nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” numerous times, according to flight logs.
– And Donald Trump, in a profile with New York magazine written several years before the police caught up with Epstein, praised his friend as a “terrific guy.” “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do,” Trump said of Epstein, “and many of them are on the younger side.”
– Dershowitz was also friendly with Epstein before the broader public knew he was a pedophile.
Dershowitz confirmed to me that he received a massage at Epstein’s Palm Beach home, adding that the woman who provided it was of legal age.
