Mitchell Epner

Judge Subramanian has denied Sean Combs bail pending sentencing.

The judge specifically found “that Cassie Ventura and Jane were
beaten, coerced, threatened, lied to, and victimized by Combs as part of their participation” in the freak offs.

In 2008, when Justice Scalia (joined by Thomas, Alito, Roberts & Kennedy) overturned a century of Second Amendment jurisprudence in Heller, holding that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an “individual right” not a “militia right”, I warned he would have blood on his hands.

Yesterday was the latest.

Ghislaine Maxwell asks U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction NPR's A Martinez speaks with former federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner about convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction.

My appearance on NPR’s Morning Edition to discuss Ghislaine Maxwell’s application to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction on the basis of immunity conferred by Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 plea agreement.

It’s a long list.

I know.

My post was not directed at you.

It was directed at the people who urged others to withhold their votes in the general election from Biden (and later Harris). You were not one of those people.

My point was that the people who screamed last year that there was “no difference” between Biden/Harris & Trump on Gaza were wrong. Thank you for acknowledging that “Donald is way worse.”

If you read the original article, you will see the difference between Biden/Harris doing everything to dissuade Israel from expelling the Palestinians from Gaza and Trump signing on to that horrific agenda.

During 2023-24, many posted here that there was "no difference" between Biden/Harris and Trump when it came to Gaza. Experience is showing us how wrong they were.

Ghislaine Maxwell: Prosecutors agree to dismiss separate perjury counts if her conviction sticks | CNN Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss separate perjury counts Ghislaine Maxwell faces at sentencing if she is unsuccessful in getting a new trial “in light of the victims’ significant interests in bringi...

With regard to the credibility of Ghislaine Maxwell, she was charged with two counts of perjury for false testimony at her deposition in the civil case brought by the late Virginia Giuffre.

The perjury countswere severed from the main trial & conditionally dismissed, if her convictions stand.

“Dour” is a great word to describe my BlueSky threads.

When I was an AUSA, I would describe all of the reasons why the testimony of the cooperating witness should be accepted, because it was corroborated by contemporary documents and/or recordings.

Former federal prosecutor says witnesses like Ghislaine Maxwell are "not to be trusted" The Department of Justice said it is reaching out to Jeffrey Epstein's close associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in helping Epstein recruit and traffic u...

I appeared on CBS News to discuss DOJ’s outreach to Ghislaine Maxwell regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

Q: Can she be trusted?

A: In my training & experience as a criminal defense attorney for over 30 years and a former federal prosecutor, cooperating witnesses should be treated like nuclear waste.

As Epstein outrage continues, Department of Justice asks to question Ghislane Maxwell As Trump supporters continue to demand answers in the Epstein case, today the DOJ requested to question jailed Epstein associate Ghislane Maxwell.

I was on NPR’s All Things Considered to discuss the DOJ’s outreach to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Given Maxwell’s prior deposition testimony denying any knowledge of misconduct by Epstein, nothing here strikes me as the DOJ’s initiative. This seems directed by the White House.

“If federal prosecutors have to worry about the professional consequences of refusing to go along with the political or personal agenda of powerful people, then we are in a very different place than I’ve understood the federal Department of Justice to be in over the last 30 years of my career.”

2/ . . . because he is a sitting president.

He said it was not surprising that some former prosecutors are alarmed that the request to unseal the grand jury materials came two days after the firing of Manhattan Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, who worked on the Epstein and Maxwell cases.

1/ Proud to be quoted the AP on President Trump’s involvement in seeking release of Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony.

Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice, called Trump's comments and influence in the Epstein matter “unprecedented” & extraordinarily unusual” . .

You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature?

Breaking Away (1979) and Say Anything (1989).

Thank you.

In December 1986, I was waiting for an elevator in the lobby of the Universal City Hilton to participate in the first Jeopardy! Teen Tournament. When the elevator doors opened, out walked WWE wrestler Big John Studd, carrying his toddler child.

YouTube video by Mitchell Epner Mitchell Epner on Donald Trump's Order To Release Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Testimony

I appeared on BBC today to discuss Donald Trump's command to AG Bondi that she seek the release of Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony. The irony is that he is only seeking the release of material that will require a lengthy court process, not the stuff he could immediately order released.

4/4 Epner joked: "If we were to find out the location of the corpse of Jimmy Hoffa, I would not be surprised."

3/
"I would not bet against there being anything, from the most interesting thing in the world to the least interesting thing in the world, in that material," said Epner, who told CBS News he believes calls for more information to be disclosed in the Epstein case are warranted.

2/ While the scope of the government's request is still unknown, Epner says it could encompass an "enormous quantity of data." Mr. Trump said the government would seek the release of grand jury testimony, which Epner noted may include exhibits that witnesses testified about before a grand jury.

Fair.

Trump orders Bondi to release Jeffrey Epstein-related grand jury testimony President Trump late Thursday ordered the release of grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein.

I’m quoted by CBS:

A request of this kind by the government is unusual, says Mitchell Epner, a partner at the NY law firm Kudman Trachten Aloe Posner & fmr federal prosecutor.

"I've been in and around federal criminal cases for over 30 years. I've never heard of this before," he told CBS News.
