Epstein’s Unusual Deal—The Weekly

This week, Ron Steslow and Greg Brower (Fmr. Assistant Director of the FBI and U.S. Attorney in Nevada) unpack what’s real—and what isn’t—in the Epstein investigations. They walk through the unusual non-prosecution agreement for Epstein in Florida, how victims’ rights weren’t honored, and why additional prosecutions may not have materialized. Then, they dig into the politics: the House Oversight investigation, whether it’s for show, and the discharge petition that could force a vote. In Politicology+ they discuss how the Epstein scandal intersects with the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution and whether lawmakers could read the Epstein “list” in congress.
