Feds investigating 'uncharged individuals' in Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case
In their filing on Thursday night in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, prosecutors said that "certain documents and materials" that they give to Epstein's team "would impede, if prematurely disclosed, the Government's ongoing investigation of uncharged individuals."
The filing also says that disclosure of such information "would risk prejudicial pretrial publicity," and "affect the privacy and confidentiality of individuals." Prosecutors as a rule share information about evidence with a defendant's lawyers in a process known as discovery. Judge Richard Berman approved the prosecution's request, which was not opposed by Epstein's lawyers, shortly after it was filed.. The newspapers said it is not known what information is being sought by the subpoenas, which were issued by a grand jury, or how many pilots received the demands for information., after he was flown there on one of his private jets from Paris.
The Journal reported that the subpoenas could be used to corroborate allegations from women who have accused Epstein of sexual abuse, or to detail Epstein's travel history and associations.. The logs showed that Clinton had taken more than a dozen trips on the plane with Ghislaine Maxwell, a close friend of Epstein, as did Epstein's former attorney Alan Dershowitz.A spokesman for prosecutors had no comment on the filing or on the subpoenas.
