Part 2: latest developments in Jeffrey Epstein case. Bill Barr and Trump's recent attempt to disrupt justice by removing US Attorney Geoffrey Berman. Berman oversaw a multitude of cases involving Trump allies, including Jeffrey Epstein, who he charged in July 2019. #opdeatheaters
On July 12, 2019, Berman's prosecution pressured US Labor secretary Acosta to resign over his handling of Epstein child rape cases 12 years earlier. He was also conducting a criminal investigation into Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani and investigating Deutsche Bank. #opdeatheaters
On January 27, 2020, Berman told reporters Prince Andrew had provided “zero cooperation” with SDNY’s investigation into Epstein. On March 9, 2020, Berman said Andrew “completely shut the door” on voluntary cooperation & that his office was considering its options. #opdeatheaters
On June 8, Berman submitted a formal request to interview Prince Andrew as part of the Epstein inquiry. Andrew responded & said he had offered to co-operate multiple times and Berman issued a response calling Prince Andrew a liar as follows: #opdeatheaters bbc.com
Also on June 8, US attorney general, William Barr, stated in a Fox News interview that there were no plans to extradite Prince Andrew. #opdeatheaters nypost.com

"Trump earned a fee for hiding the real owner – a shadow owner possibly being funneled cash by Rybolovlev for other reasons beyond the value of the house. Rybolovlev might have, paid himself for the house, thereby (laundering) $55m.." #opdeatheaters sfchronicle.com
Court documents revealed lavish yacht parties where Dmitry Rybolovlev shared “young conquests with his friends, and other oligarchs.” Was Trump's new friend moving in on Epstein's turf? #opdeatheaters forbes.com
