Acosta, at his Wednesday news conference, seemed to put blame on Kersher for his apparent attempt to let Epstein off the hook with just a misdemeanor.

It was only after then Palm Beach police chief, Michael Reiter, wrote a public letter asking that Kersher recuse himself from the case that the U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI assumed jurisdiction of the Epstein matter record show.

And that's because the whole thing was a shit show down there.

Nobody was doing the right thing.

One note read, "She's wondering if 2:30 is okay.

She needs to stay in school." "The notes, it was clear to police, were about massages and sex," said Michael Reiter, then chief of police for Palm Beach.

"And it isn't just the phone messages," Mr. Reiter said.

Epstein had flowers delivered to one of the victims whose performance at her high school, congratulating her at the end of the performance.

Two, a 27-year-old woman who worked as Epstein's personal assistant also facilitated liaisons phoning the Palm Beach Community College student to arrange for girls when Epstein was coming to town and escorted the girls upstairs when they arrived, putting fresh sheets on the massage table and placing massage oils nearby.

And three sworn statements from five alleged victims and 17 witnesses who stated that on three occasions, Epstein had sex with the girls.

After interviewing several alleged victims, former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter explained the stories were all the same.

They all could describe the house in detail.

However, multiple other witnesses have testimony and given testimony to prove her defamation claim against defendant.

Ms. Roberts is no longer seeking the deposition testimony of Emmy Taylor, Jojo Fontanella, and Michael Reiter.

Defendant and Mr. Epstein and former President Clinton is a key person who can provide information about his close relationship with defendant and Mr. Epstein and disprove Ms. Maxwell's claims.

Ms. Roberts is still working diligently with opposing counsel, these witnesses, and their attorneys on scheduling, as well as identifying other witnesses who may have factual information about the case.

It has now become clear that plaintiff failed to disclose witnesses with relevant information based on the subpoenas she has served in this matter.

Plaintiff repeatedly has issued subpoenas to witnesses for depositions and document production before including them on her Rule 26 disclosures, to wit, Allison Chambers, Aviation Insurance, redacted, Joe Recari, Michael Reiter, and Shopper's Paradise.

How many other witnesses are there with relevant information that plaintiff has hidden? Plaintiff has been equally evasive in responding to written discovery.

Until Ms. Maxwell was forced to file a motion to compel, plaintiff failed to give even the most basic relevant and fully discoverable information, including the identities of plaintiff's physicians, information on her work and education history, and even the identity of her counsel and the matters on which they represented her.
