United States Attorney

Preliminary statement.

For nearly a quarter century, Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous sex trafficker and abuser of minors and young women, along with his co-conspirators, was able to engage in a wide-ranging sex trafficking venture because the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of Justice, and U.S. Attorney's Office failed to listen or to protect his sex-trafficked, sexually abused, and sexually exploited victims.

In 1996, plaintiff Maria Farmer reported to the FBI that she had been sexually assaulted by Epstein and Glenn Maxwell, his longtime partner and leading co-conspirator.

What's more, Maria warned the FBI that Epstein and others had committed multiple serious sex crimes, including hands-on sexual abuse and trafficking against girls and vulnerable young women, including against one of her minor sisters.

Cat is certainly out of the bag.

Andrew remains a person of interest to prosecutors in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

But they do not expect to be able to interview him in the foreseeable future, if ever it has been reported.

And if his mom continues to protect him, that's how it'll be, right? She'll run interference.

The question at the heart of this case that Marine Comey brought is whether these limitations on the removal of Assistant United States Attorneys are consistent with Article 2 and the constitutional separation of powers.

The plaintiff in this case is Marine Comey, who served for nearly 10 years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

In that role, she was assigned some of the country's highest profile cases and consistently received the highest accolades from supervisors and peers alike.

On July 16, 2025, however, she received an email from DOJ officials in Washington, D.C., summarily terminating her employment, and they wrote in their termination of her employment that it was pursuant to Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States.

Trump did not fire Marine Comey.

Bondi did, and it was unlawful when she did it.

But the defendants, which is DOJ, argued that it was lawful when Bondi did that, under a statute providing that, quote, each Assistant United States Attorney is subject to removal by the Attorney General, which is 28 U.S.C. 542B, or under the CSRA.

More consequentially, they argued, to the extent that Comey's termination was not authorized by these statutes, the limitations imposed by Congress are unconstitutional, they say.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Lane presided over the case.

Montana has a new leader at the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Scott Twido was sworn in Friday as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Montana.

Chief Judge Brian Morris administered the oath in Billings.

Twido served as Yellowstone County Attorney for 16 years.

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche named him to the intern post, and he will serve for 120 days or until the Senate confirms him.

Twido takes over from Mark Smith, who was acting U.S. Attorney from May to September.

Kurt Allmey held the job until he resigned in March to run for Senate.

So I did that.

And then I actually ended up as a paralegal for the U.S. attorney's office.

There was a program for.

students who were recent graduates from college who had had a certain GPA.

Yeah, that was really enjoyable.

That's really interesting.

I the only time that I actually got jury duty was while I was working at the U.S. attorney's office.

And so I knew for sure, even if I got into a courtroom for anything, some attorney was going to strike me because they didn't want someone from the court system on the jury for sure.

It was sent out yesterday.

Uh, United States Attorney Adam Sleeper announced today that Assistant United States Eric Tate has been appointed to serve as the district election officer, and in that capacity will be responsible for overseeing the district's handling of election day complaints related to voting rights, concerns, threats of violence to election officials or staff, and election fraud.

The Department of Justice has an important role in deterring and combating discrimination and intimidation at the polls, threats of violence directed at election officials and poll workers, and election fraud, and will address these violations wherever they occur.

The department's longstanding Election Day program furthers these goals and seeks to ensure public confidence in the electoral process by providing local points of contact with the department for the public to report possible federal election law violations.

Quote, "Every citizen must be free to cast his or her vote without interference or discrimination," United States Attorney Sleeper said.

The Department of Justice will work tirelessly to protect the integrity of the election process.

But let me just go to the bottom.

Assistant United States Attorney Tate and other Assistant United States Attorneys will be on duty in this district while the polls are open and can be reached by the public at three four zero seven seven four five seven five seven.

Smoke Ring.

United States Attorney's Office, Miss Davis speaking.

Hello, I'd like to speak with Mr. Taylor, please.

This is Agent Stevens over at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Assele, criticizes the group's findings.

Well, I thought we had to call him first assistant

US attorney.

A federal judge yesterday delivered a blistering rebuke of the U.S. Department of Justice as he dismissed criminal charges brought against two former FBI officials.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqa slammed the office of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, gee, what a shock, for bringing charges against former FBI counterintelligence officials, Nikki Flores and Bradley Benavidez, without even establishing probable cause to believe that a crime had been committed.

Pirro's office indicted Flores, Flores and Benavidez just over one week ago, alleging that the two had lied to Congress about the FBI's investigation into Hunter Biden.

Now, I use indicted very loosely.
