Including charges of murder. Thanks for joining us. We begin in the u.

They will have access to all the facts. They will have access to the fbi reports. Theyll have access to the victim interviews. They can look at this matter in its totality. And
Charges for sex trafficking. This News Conference from Labor Department headquarters is just under an hour. Good afternoon. Let me start by reiterating that im pleased that the new york prosecution is Going Forward. In 2008, a major newspaper described the epstein prosecution like this. , a grand grand jury jury convened by the District Attorney of Palm Beach County, had charged epstein with a lesser offense.
