Ghislaine Maxwell
Epstein’s Entrapment, with Julie K. Brown
Journalist Julie K. Brown, whose Miami Herald reporting in 2017 and 2018 led to additional charges for Epstein and identified nearly 80 of his victims — sits down with Rick to unravel all of the significant details that the public might not know yet, or might not be paying attention to.
Blowing the lid off of an already UNBELIEVABLE story (again), Julie sheds light on the victims’ stories, Epstein and Maxwell’s extensive child trafficking network, the colossal names woven into the network, why investigators should follow the money, and, of course, the unprecedented sweetheart plea deal Alex Acosta (who’d later slither into the role of Trump’s Labor Secretary in 2017) handed to Epstein during his 2008 criminal case in Palm Beach County.
Rick and Julie also untangle the important details surrounding Epstein’s 2006 Palm Beach investigation where a Victim’s Rights Lawsuit (filed after the sweetheart plea deal) exposed a chummy email paper trail between the Prosecutor’s office (i.e. Alex Acosta’s office at the time) and Epstein’s attorney.

Trump to accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell:Â ‘I wish her well.’ Message received?
Maxwell, who prosecutors say helped groom underage girls for multimillionaire sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, is in a federal jail awaiting trial.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wished alleged sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell “well” after he was asked about her case during a news briefing at the White House largely focused on the coronavirus.
“I haven’t really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said when asked for his thoughts on whether she could turn on powerful men such as Britain’s Prince Andrew, who prosecutors have been seeking to question in connection with her case.
Maxwell is currently being held without bail in federal lockup while awaiting trial for allegedly helping transport minors for sexual activity in the 1990s and then lying about it under oath. Prosecutors said she “played a critical role” in helping multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein identify, “befriend and groom minor victims for abuse.” She has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty.
Trump, who was photographed with Maxwell and Epstein numerous times before Epstein was first charged in the mid-2000s, said Tuesday “I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is.”
