jeffrey epstein at that time.don't know. >> we don't know. >> but he does -- he's not recusing himself because of that. >> well, the thing that's so weird to me is not in isolation that he hired him without, you know, the requisite experience, it's that, you know, sexual predation of this type, it's not something that starts when you're 35 or 45, right? if, you know, that's consistent and holds here and obviously the prosecution yesterday made an eloquent presentation sort of explaining some of this. he probably had some of these ba behaviors that folks were aware of at the time. the fact you're hiring someone who has no experience and this predation towards teenage girls and is trafficking girls, according to the paperwork filed yesterday. that's what bothers me. it's not hiring an inexperienced person. maybe he had great relationships. people get jobs all the time. it's the fact that he's a predator and you're placing him with potential victims and nobody's stepping in to say, wait, hold up, this person, we need

jeffrey berman, the u.s. attorney for the southern district. >> who are is a donald trump appointee. >> correct. he came out firmly and said please don't read anything into the fact that this is being prosecuted by the federal corruption unit. i prosecuted some cases in the eastern district. because the charges came in and i had experience. >> did it mean they originated through the terrorism unit? >> no. that's the thing. staffing decisions, people can start off in one section and move to another. and it could be a matter of assistants who were worthing on an aspect and moved. i think we have to take the u.s. attorney at his word that it's hard to read too much into the decision. >> what is the trump problem in this case? >> the trump problem is there is possibly other shoes to drop about the relationship with jeffrey epstein. i spent a lot of time with donald in the mid-2000s. he routinely spoke fauningly of jeffrey. he admired jeffrey's lifestyle and his freedom and there is a sink ronisity between the two

jeffrey epstein stayed free. jeffrey epstein could not be held accountable for his alleged crimes toward courtney wild and those dozens of other women like her with that non-prosecution agreement still on the books in florida. in florida. over the weekend, federal prosecutors in new york city busted down the door of jeffrey epstein's manhattan mansion and arrested him at the airport after he landed in his private jet fresh off a vacation in france. this morning, jeffrey epstein was arraigned in federal court on federal sex trafficking charges in the state of new york. in this new indictment, prosecutors allege that between the years of 2002 and 2005, epstein abused dozens of underage girls at his homes in manhattan and in palm beach. the allegations are practically a mirror image of the allegations written up against epstein more than a decade ago in florida, the ones that were shelved by alex acosta. they cover the same period, the same crimes -- kinds of lurid sex crimes against children, but they are new charg

president clinton knows nothing about the terrible climbs jeffrey epstein pleaded guilty -- claims jeffrey epstein pleaded guilty to. in 2002, 2003, president clinton took four trips on jeffrey epstein's airplane, one to europe, asian, two to africa, which included stops in connection with with the wothe clinton foundation. the wording of the statement in question, he took four trips but people say there were many more flights involved within those trips, and this is just the tip of it in terms of who epstein was running around with. >> i think the core of this is that he ran in circles of powerful people regardless of their party affiliation. ig it w i thought it was interesting to see the u.s. attorney and how florida handled the case years ago as well. secretary acosta thus far has been very defensive, with regards to how he handled the case, then said that he dealt with it, in thhis view, appropriately. it is interesting to see the connections not only to bill clinton, but obviously to president trump as well. the quotes we have seen president trump give about jeffrey epstein, supporti

attorney jeffrey berman said. i think i asked them specifically what they found at that search warrant hit they did saturday night after jeffrey epstein was arrested. he is arrested at 5:30. shortly thereafter they break into his mansion in manhattan and found photographs of nude underaged girls according to the u.s. attorney, he telling us that at the press conference a few moments ago. i think that's an important development so it depose further to something we've been talking about here on msnbc which is whether or not we have seen the last of charges involving jeffrey epstein and perhaps others. as far as court, craig, what we anticipate to happen first is an initial presentment to a magistrate judge then we will have a bail hour in front of judge berman, that's going to be happening at a 00 pearl straight which is 500 or so yards off to this side and basically what's going to happen there the government is going to say, your honor, he shouldn't get bail, this person poses too much of a danger to the community

that's a jeffrey epstein special.g within the trump administration is that we have an alarmingly large number of men who either have been accused credibly or rape, accused of sexual assault, accused of domestic violence, who have found their way into the white house, into the administration where they find protection by the president who has been accused by some 17 women of his own just three weeks ago, we had a credible accusation of rape against our president. i think at this point, we can see the pattern. we understand that these men are not engaged in helping women. they don't care when it's young girls. we saw the republican party stand by roy moore in alabama after it came out he booabused y young girls. i think that told women what we needed to know whether republicans are going to take this seriously. >> acosta isn't accused of this, he's accused of handling the case badly. >> jeffrey epstein basically operated in open sight for a very long time because of men like acosta who were able to help him cover it. >>
