Former Prosecutor Accuses Bill Barr of Helping Trump “Cover Up” Epstein Scandal

Blue Press Journal (DC) – In a shocking revelation, a former prosecutor from the Southern District of New York has come forward to accuse former Attorney General Bill Barr of helping President Donald Trump “cover up” his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The prosecutor, who worked under U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Berman, claims that Barr had no knowledge of the investigation or prosecution of Epstein, despite his claims to the contrary.

During a testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, Barr stated that he was unaware of any information that might implicate Trump in the Epstein case. However, this statement has been called into question by the former prosecutor, who pointed out that Barr was never briefed on the investigation and had no reason to review the Epstein file.

According to the prosecutor, Berman had intentionally kept Barr at arm’s length, as the charges being sought did not require main justice approval. This is unusual for a high-profile investigation like the Epstein case, and suggests that Berman may have been trying to limit Barr’s involvement.

The former prosecutor, who spoke to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, stated that if Barr didn’t review the file and wasn’t briefed on the investigation, then his claims of not seeing anything that might implicate Trump are meaningless. The prosecutor also criticized the House Oversight Committee for not calling in line prosecutors who worked on the case, suggesting that they are more interested in protecting Trump than in getting to the bottom of the scandal.

The accusations against Barr come after it was revealed in May that the Department of Justice had informed him that Trump’s name was mentioned in the Epstein files. This revelation has raised questions about Barr’s credibility and his role in potentially covering up Trump’s involvement in the scandal.

The former prosecutor’s accusations add to ongoing criticisms of Barr’s handling of the Epstein case, which has ignited calls for transparency and accountability. As the investigation unfolds, it remains uncertain if the truth about Trump’s involvement will be revealed. The American public deserves to know the truth, and it’s time for those in power to stop covering it up.
