Trump Administration Is Only Making Matters Worse on Epstein

If it’s possible to mishandle a criminal case worse than the Trump administration has mishandled the Jeffrey Epstein case, I’m stumped trying to come up with it.

Yet again, attention is drawn to this matter — a matter to which the president and his minions should be drawing absolutely zero attention — because the Trump Justice Department announced that it would be interviewing Epstein’s now notorious accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, this week. The interview reportedly took place on Thursday and Friday, at a federal prison in Florida where Maxwell is serving her 20-year sentence on convictions for trafficking minor girls for sex.
