., ., jeffrey epstein? i thought i would do a story about _ jeffrey epstein?ory about sex trafficking and every time i began to do research on it, his case kept coming up, and every time i looked at his story about it, ijust kept thinking to myself, how did this happen? how did a man like this commit such a horrendous crime and pretty much get away with it? 50 horrendous crime and pretty much get away with it?— away with it? so your “ournalism our away with it? so your “ournalism your investigation, _ away with it? so yourjournalism your investigation, was - away with it? so yourjournalism your investigation, was about i your investigation, was about cracking —— tracking down the women who made allegations against him. how did you do that and how difficult was it? well, remember, this had happened a decade before. these were 13, 1a, 15—year—olds, so now they were in their late 20s for the most part, and what happened was donald trump nominated a new labour secretary named alex acosta, and acosta was the former miami prosecutor who gave or signed off onjeffrey

jeffrey epstein. was plenty of dirt to be had but basically these rich, powerful men, and they are for the most part men, would never talk. this person told me there was far too much self-interest at stake. >> joining us now author and journalist vicky ward. she's the host of that new podcast chasing ghislaine. the culmination of her 19 year investigative undertaking as she wrote her 2003 "vanity fair" profile. what happened with that profile, vicky? >> so, what happened with the profile was that jeffrey epstein went onepstein went on a charm offensive with me trying to sell his version of events. he wanted the world to think he was an amazing money manager for billionaires only. he threatened me and we have 450 pages of transcripts of those conversations. i ended up talking to him nearly daily for two or three months. and when that didn't work he went around me to my boss at the time with the result being that allegations by two sisters were cut out. and there is a scene in the podcast when we're wor

she's the reason we know who jeffrey epstein is.w it happened in her book, perfect version of justice, the jeffrey epstein story. a hero of mine, julia k. brown. good to see you. chapter titled jeffrey epstein didn't kill himself. a lot of us think that's the case. what evidence do you have that supports it? >> well, here's the thing. we still don't really know for sure. it is a theory of mine based on the information that i know about, and you know, there are a lot of people of course that believe the same thing. epstein's brother, for example, epstein's lawyers, among the last to see him don't believe he committed suicide, and knowing epstein the way i have gotten to know him through all of the research that i have done, this was a man who really believed he was above the law, who had a lot of political connections. this is very early on in his case. it seems way too early for him to have thrown in the towel. and aside from that, the doctor, the forensic pathologist that reviewed the autopsy, was at the autopsy, dr. michael baden

when did it turn toward the criminal for jeffrey epstein?ole scheme began was in the early 2000s. he was really close and at some time boyfriend of ghislaine max maxwell, a bring dish socialite, indicted accused of being part of this sex trafficking operation but we know that way back in the early 2000s, she was recruiting young girls from various places around florida, for example, spas, health clubs, even schools, you know, she went to colleges. and giving her business card and basically saying that she had a wealthy man who was interested in hiring them as an assistant or a massage therapist or as someone that he could help with their careers, and that's our understanding of how the whole thing started. >> congrats on the book, and good look with that. i want to talk about ghislaine maxwell, give us an update where the case against her stands, what's the time line, what are we talking about, and what more, there's always an air of mystery around this entire proceedings, what more we could learn about the other people in epstein's world? >

take the case of jeffrey epstein. investigator miami herald reporter julie k.ations and mostly with the cases reopening. now brown is out with a new book called "perversion of justice" which touches on the challenges facing reporters. you were on a cold case, something the rest of the media missed. what are the lessons for the media in your new book? >> i think since this story happened, it was over a decade ago that epstein was first charged, that the world has changed a lot, thankfully, and i think the media is starting to recognize, you know, that these kinds of stories need to be covered in a different way than they had before. you know, that women should be listened to, that they are, you know, to be believed, really, when it comes to these kinds of allegations. >> do you feel like -- i know that one of the stories within your book that i really was struck by is what it was like inside the "miami herald," the lack of resources. that's not the fault of the editors, it was really the fault of the hedge funds and the bankers and the owners and the infrastruct

jey julie k brown joins me now, her new book perversion of justice the jeffrey epstein story.lk with you. you've been investigating epstein and those associated with him for more than a decade. building on your initial reporting, what more did you learn especially around this strangely light plea deal he got in the initial investigation. >> good morning. well, you know, the original series that i did in 2008 only scratched the surface of this story. epstein had -- we now know he had a far reaching web of people that were helping him with his sex trafficking operation. you know, to some degree, i mean, the circle around him, the people who enabled him started from the butler who answered the door to the schedulers that were arranging his visits with all these underage girls. the pilots that were transporting these women as well as the people that he socialized with, the powerful people. so this book connects the dots in a way i was unable to do with a short series they did in 2018. >> sure. you don't have the same constraints. you write specifically about the immunity deal and

we will handle him with all the care and attention we gave to jeffrey epstein. julian assange son and father join us now from sydney. gabrielle, you are julian assange's brother. you are worried about this appeal, i take it once he gets to the united states and he is under the custody of the federal bureau of prisons, you are actually concerned he is not going to make it out of there alive, whatever happens. >> that's right. that's why the extradition was rejected back in january. now the prosecution has given these assurances that julian won't be held in florence, colorado, super max prison. he won't be held. caveat in that in that basically they can change their mind as soon as julian gets into the u.s. it's up to the cia, the director of the cia basically to say whether julian ends up sands or which prison he ends up in. there is really no assurance at all in his appeal. it's just a way to keep this court proceeding going and keep julian in a maximum security prison in london where he has been now third year in prison there. >> mark: yeah, as you say, as we a

then in 2019 national attention went back on jeffrey epstein.g me now is julie k. brown. throughout the book you talk about an eco system around epstein. who are the people in that eco system and are any of them being held responsible? >> well, we know they have indicted max well, who was his partner, his girlfriend at one point, and who according to the charges against her as well as several statements from witnesses she helped recruit some of the women and girls that were later abused by him in palm beach. there is a number of other people that were in his orbit. there was a number of other people enabling him from the butler that answered the door, the chef that sent the girls food when they came in. he had pilots, and the list goes on and on. >> and one thing you had cost robert oi costa their job. so what happened behind the seens to have him approve such a lenient deal. >> that is one of the things that i do in this book, i connect the dots in a way that i was not able to do previously. i have seen them be brilliant in the way they picked

but let me put it q me give you an analogy. harvey weinstein is to jeffrey epstein. what j 6 is to be l. m a n t for the amount of attention. do you said you was prosecution of this man? was unlike anything anybody has ever seen? you remember when he had to show his gentle tone in court? what was the purpose of that other than me humiliate him? remember when you had witness after witness? not charge. basically telling the jury she did this before. so if you don't get him now, if you have any doubt he's done this before, this is this past similar evidence conduct. it was one of the worst cases ever. so let me ask this question again. why wasn't there even a tense, just 10 percent of the attention paid to not hard, not jeffrey epstein. colleen maxwell, but the 100 or more of the victims. it's been all but forgotten. so what i'm saying is, i don't want them to get off the hook. i don't know necessarily why they have to replicate this. again. it l a. they're entitled to this. he certainly could have waived in a parent for an arraignment. for you know and risking coven. b
