Trump's DOJ Busted Tracking Epstein Reporter on Day He Was Arrested

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An investigative reporter who covered Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes has called out the Department of Justice after discovering her flight details from the day he was arrested appear in the Epstein files.

Journalist Julie K. Brown has been credited with reactivating the investigation into Epstein’s abuse of young women when the Miami Herald published her interviews with victims in November 2018, headlined "Perversion of Justice."

Brown spoke to around 80 alleged victims of Epstein, with her work earning her a George Polk Award in the category of Justice Reporting.

On Sunday, Brown posted a redacted document detailing flights she took on July 6, 2019, during Trump’s first administration.

His ideological co-conspirator from the Feudalist Society Alberto Gonzalez was USAG in 2007:

Epstein had dinners with a top Florida prosecutor on his case, docs show

Tampa Bay Times, October 20, 2025

Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel — the Miami U.S. Attorney’s office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epstein’s sweetheart deal in 2007, newly released documents show.

A tranche of over 8,500 pages of records from Epstein’s estate — released by the House Oversight Committee Friday — show that Epstein’s calendars and emails reflect that Menchel, who left the DOJ in 2007, had multiple meetings or dinners with Epstein in 2011, 2013 and 2017. Lawmakers also referred to a photograph of Menchel on a ski trip with Epstein sometime in the 2000s, but didn’t produce the photo.

Contacted on Friday, Menchel initially referred the Miami Herald to a 2020 statement he had previously sent the Herald in response to questions about whether he had a business relationship with Epstein.

“I had no business relationship with Mr. Epstein at any point, not before, during or after my tenure at the US Attorney’s Office.” He added that Epstein had tried to get his firm to handle some of the civil litigation associated with his case, but “we declined.”

10. No. Barr was not Attorney General in 2007.

Alberto Gonzales was Attorney General through September 17, 2007. He was then replaced by Michael Mukasey.

Barr was first AG from November 26, 1991 through January 20, 1993. Then later from February 14, 2019 through December 23, 2020

9. She the person most responsible for the public knowing as much as we do.

She is a true American hero. So naturally, Trump tried to take her down.

12. AI Headline?

Trump's DOJ Busted Tracking Epstein Reporter on Day He Was Arrested

The reporter's name is Julie.
Julie is a "he"?
From the snip:

after discovering her flight details from the day he was arrested appear in the Epstein files.

"Her" flight details on the day "he" was arrested.
An AI editor, too?

[W_HAMILTON]

13. The "he" refers to Epstein.

Could be AI, but AI is usually clearer and has better grammar.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Nice Catch

For some reason I assumed the reporter was arrested, not merely harassed.
My mistake.

[W_HAMILTON]

16. I wouldn't say it's your mistake because it's definitely a poorly written headline.

I had to read it multiple times to, uh, "decipher" it.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Thanks

I feel a little less silly now.

15. In my opinion, this story has legs

It is highly suspicious in nature and naturally begs questions about Trump's interest in her findings. Why would the 45th POTUS be concerned with her comings and goings in the third year of his presidency, as if he has nothing better to worry about?

It is well-suited to undercut support for Trump among his base that were focused on the Epstein case.
