Perverted Epstein deal eyed by feds

The Justice Department has opened an inquiry into the sweetheart deal that gave multi-millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein only 13 months in the private wing of Palm Beach County jail.

The inquiry was revealed in a letter released Wednesday from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd to Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse.

The DOJ “has now opened an investigation into allegations that Department attorneys may have committed professional misconduct in the manner in which the Epstein criminal manner was resolved,” Boyd wrote.

Sasse had raised concerns about the Epstein case following a series in the Miami Herald that highlighted the unusually cozy ties between the investor’s legal team and then-Southern Florida U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta.

Acosta now serves as President Trump’s labor secretary.

He signed off on Epstein’s plea deal in 2008 despite evidence of an international sex-trafficking operation involving underage girls, the Herald reported.

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,” Trump said of Epstein in 2002.

Much of the evidence in the Epstein case remains shrouded in secrecy. One of his alleged victims, Virginia Roberts, alleged in a lawsuit that Epstein used her as his sex slave when she was 15.

His sleazy tactics allegedly involved convincing young girls to give him massages that escalated into sex acts. He’d then allegedly entice them into recruiting other girls into his orbit.
