The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article today about the negotiations surrounding the trial of Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

J<\/span>et-setting financier and convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein’s<\/a> trial on child sex trafficking charges won’t start until next June, at the earliest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Federal prosecutors clashed with lawyers representing the jet-setting financier Wednesday over when the trial should begin<\/a>, with the government arguing it should kick off next June, while the defense advocated for a post-Labor Day 2020 start date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The judge didn\u2019t make a definitive ruling, though he said June 2020 is the earliest<\/a> the high-profile trial, expected to last four to six weeks, would commence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Martin Weinberg, one of Epstein\u2019s attorneys, claimed that the defense had one million pages of discovery to wade through and argued that a September 2020 trial date<\/a> would be preferable because \u201cthirteen months sounds like the appropriate amount of time it takes to prepare a case of this magnitude.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A federal prosecutor countered that the trial should start sooner than that<\/a>, telling<\/a> the judge that a delay is not in the public interest and arguing<\/a> that Epstein should be tried as \u201cswiftly as possible.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge Richard Berman, who finds himself in the national and international spotlight while presiding over this case, hinted<\/a> the trial might begin around June 8, 2020, but said he\u2019d revisit the exact timing of the Epstein trial in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a lot of people who do not want to see this trial take place. Many of them are in very powerful positions in our government. In my mind there is a real question as to whether Jeffrey Epstein will survive in prison long enough to be tried. Prisoners are not known for their compassionate treatment of men who sexually assault underage girls. There are also a lot of famous people who visited his island–some on a fairly regular basis.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
