According to the federal indictment come epstein is accused of making a sex Trafficking Network between 20022005. Prosecutors say epstein paid thousands of underage girls, as young as 14, hundreds of dollars to massage or have with sex wim in new york city and florida. Hes also accused of having his victims recruit others. The alleged behavior shock click they found a huge trove of young looking women or girls in epsteins mansion.

Covering this case since the beginning. Also author of the book trafficking. Thank you for joining us tonight. Thank you, shannon, for having me. Shannon your face an interesting point that its the then state department for Palm Beach County is the one who doesnt get as much attention, but he is a critical player here. So much concerning to the then chief of police there in Palm Beach County. He actually put together this response and referred it to the fbi saying, we need the feds to get involved because somehow theres so much pressure on this county, we do not think this is going anywhere. Absolutely, shannon. My biggest question, and i dont understand why no one is pointing fingers at, and actually explaining why barry kircher cut the deal that he cu cut. The onus fell on the state Attorneys Office and, you know, after the chief Police Michael ritter, who i spoke to at length for many, many years after i started the investigation back in 2009, ritter said to me many times, i did not accept his deal. He wanted to charge him with a misdemeanor. No jail time, no restitution, and no registration of the sex offender. Then he took that case, ritter takes the case to the fed. Michael ritter, Palm Beach Police chief, take the case to the feds. Thats when acosta comes in. Thats not until 2006. So acosta and his team, with others, they start to investigate. That takes two years but there is a 53 page indictment against epstein. But what happens . Welcome to getting close to the 2008 president ial campaign. Hillary clinton is the democratic shooin at the time. President obama was still not in the forefront. At the forefront. So i believe, given the information that i have and what ive read, at the very top of the food chain they did not want to make as the attorney general said to me when i interviewed him, alberto gonzalez, they did not want to make a political mess. So they basically tapped acosta again, which is also why they hired ken starr and jay lets go its who wear the two speak a lot some highprofile names involved in this. They were the two than attorneys who negotiated the plea deal, meaning the agreement handed to epstein which was not an order as acosta told me because ive been speaking to acosta for many years since the original investigation and the original arrest in 2005. Shannon tonight, president clinton spoke out and said made it clear that there was travel with him, always secret surface, brief meetings, the two of them trying to tie them together like people tonight tying epstein the President Trump that those are unfair leaps in logic, the clintons say. I havent read too much information and spoken to too many people on the inside. I actually attempted to interview clinton, but he would not he did not agree to do so. And i know from the pilot laws, these are pilot logs that were written by different pilots at different times that clinton went, he was a guest of epstein 27 times. You tell me. Doug band was also on the plane many times. Many of those times clinton had his secret service with them and many times he did not. Almost every time that clintons name is on the pilot logs, there are under age girls. There are initials, there are names of many, many girls on that private plane. You have to ask yourself, this is what i asked myself, why would anyone, not only a former president , fly on a plane 27 times that did not belong to him . Shannon the statement from his office, his spokesman tonight says he knows nothing about the terrible times down the crimes that epstein pleaded guilty to a few years ago, goeso talk about he took a total of four trips with them, secret service, dt l, had a meeting with him in his office. Security and Staff Members are you saying the former president is not telling the truth . Yes, i am saying sadly that he is not telling the truth. First of all, gerald left court, one of epsteins attorneys during the original arrest wrote a letter which has been made public. In that letter, he claims that epstein was one of the original funders of clinton global initiative. He gave forgive me, Jeffrey Epstein gave president clinton 4 million according to a source who knows the story about that. Shannon the former president tonight saying he knows nothing about the crimes for they traveled together briefly. I know youve been digging on this for ten years, so we will continue to put the pieces together per thats his statement tonight. Your book is fascinating and people who want to know more about it can dig in. Thank you for coming in. Thank you very much for having me. Shannon fox news alert. Obama Era Nuclear Deal with the west, again President Trump warns iranian leaders to be careful. Kristin fisher here with breaking news. Good evening, Kristin Fisher kristin to shannon. Second time that iran has violated the 2015 Nuclear Agreement and threatening more violations unless they help iran bypass these biting u. S. Sanctions. Translator remaining in the deal who did not fulfill their commitment seriously and did not do anything more than talk. Iran may be more harder, steadfast, and somehow stunning. The threat comes from as the country announce its now enriching uranium beyond whats allowed in the nuclear deal. A claim thats been confirmed by the u. N. Nuclear watchdog. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is no question that iran is violating the deal and its time for the remaining signatories to pull out. Iran is brazenly violating the deal. Its time for europe to do what they promised to do. Speaking at the same event today in washington, Vice President mike pence who warned iran the u. S. Is prepared to protect its personnel and interests in the region. Let me be clear, iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. The chinese say its that kind of resolve that forced iran to violate the deal in the first place, the maximum pressure of the u. S. Imposes on iran is the root cause of the conflict. Unilateral bullying has become worsening tumor and creating more problems and greater crises on a global scale. National security advisor john bolton says the u. S. Is just Getting Started with its campaign of maximum pressure. The president s goal is to get a new deal that would be negotiated in the best interest of the united states. That goal is not possible according to iran after the u. S. And cosanctions on the Supreme Leader and foreign we have no hope or trust on any country, but the door of diplomacy is open. If europe does not help iran circumvent these u. S. Sanctions, iran says itll keep violating the deal terms every 60 days. Shannon . Shannon Kristin Fisher with the very latest tonight.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the administration is trying to suppress the hispanic vote. This is about keeping you know what should be on the hat . Make America White again. They want to make sure that certain people are counted. Its really disgraceful. Meanwhile, the attorney general weighing in on the special counsel Robert Muellers capitol hill testimony scheduled for next week of accusing democrats of now playing games. Im disappointed to see him standing. It seems to be the only reason for doing that is to create some kind of public spectacle.

Congresswoman, democratic socialist alexandria ocasiocortez taking her public feud with house Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the next level tonight. You correspondent Jonathan Hunt has the story. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, shannon. In an interview that nancy pelosi gave to the New York Times. Asked about the opposition to a border funding bill from four freshman liberals include representatives alexandria ocasiocortez and ilhan omar. Pelosi was critical of their opposition to the bill and said, all these people have their public whatever and their twitter world, but they didnt have any following, therefore cold people, thats how many votes they got. Aoc responded via her twitter, that public whatever is called public sentiment and wielding the power to shift it is how we actually achieve meaningful change in this country but while conzelmann omar use the spanish word for pathetic in apparent reference to her comments and added, you know they are salty who is using power to shift public sentiment. Sorry not sorry. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib defended her colleagues on abcs this week. All of us have these experiences that have been missing in the halls of congress. Honor that, respect that, put us at the table. Lets come up with a solution together. A cause ocasiocortez who has more than 4. 6 million followers also clapped back at speaker pelosis dismissal of twitter come with mlgs prominent, i find it strange that members act that social media isnt important. They spend missing to make millions of dollars to spend tv ads so people can see their message. I havent thought of her dollars once and have more time to do my actual job, yet wed rather Campaign Like its 2008. To add to the disagreements over impeachment and the green new deal, a debate over the value of tweeting, and its pretty clear that this is a generational divide among democrats as well as a political one. Shannon . Shannon well said, Jonathan Hunt. Thank you very much. New yorks governor is adding a new bill that could give Congressional Democrats access to President Trumps state tax returns. Jerry nadler describing it as a workaround to white house obstruction. The Trump Legal Team calling a president ial harassment. Lets turn to the Democratic State senator who authored the new york bill, brad wellman, and from the republican association, harvey dillon, to work it out. Its being described it this way. By you, senator can you say i do not want to head into 2020 without americans and new yorkers knowing more about trumps secret business dealings. Is this strictly political, senator . No. This is a bill, now a law, not to one individual, but those who file taxes in the state of new york. Its an important principle we are supporting here in new york, which is the separation of powers, which is checks and balances, which is tax transparency, and most importantly, shannon, which is the oversight responsibilities of congress. If congress cant get the taxes of donald trump through the mandated procedures that have existed since 1924, then i think new york has a special responsibility to step in the breach and help them deal with, and thats what we are doing with this new law the andrew cuomo signed today. The governor in a statement said the bill gives congress the ability to fulfill its constitutional response abilities and strengthen our democratic system to make sure no one is above the law. Whats along with that . I think this is a deeply cynical bill and a problem in search of a solution, shannon. The reality is that Even Congress is not allowed to ask for an Individuals Task on the tax return without a proper legislative purpose. There is no purpose for seeking a private citizens returns before he decided that he
