Fox News Hasn't Asked Paid Contributor Ken Starr About His Pedophile Client Jeffrey Epstein


One of the major attorneys behind Epstein’s unconstitutional 2008 deal is a paid Fox News pundit. No one on the network has thought to ask him about his pedophile client.

Fox News is apparently incapable of asking Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers about Jeffrey Epstein.

As The Daily Beast reported earlier this year, high-profile attorney Alan Dershowitz, who helped negotiate a secretive deal for the billionaire pedophile to avoid federal prosecution, has appeared on Fox News more than 70 times since news of that 2008 deal broke. Not once was he asked about Epstein or the plea deal a judge recently declared unconstitutional.

But Dershowitz isn’t the only member of Epstein’s legal team who has repeatedly gotten a pass from Fox News: famed prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who also helped negotiate the illegal Epstein deal, is a paid Fox News contributor who makes regular appearances across the network.

In the nearly nine months since the Miami Herald revealed that Epstein’s legal team pressured then-U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta (now Trump’s labor secretary) into accepting a shockingly lenient deal, Fox News has interviewed Starr at least 59 times. But not a single host at the network has asked Starr about Epstein, Dershowitz, or their involvement in negotiating the plea.

Starr, who is billed as a paid Fox News contributor since at least early this year, has appeared across the network’s opinion and news shows, almost exclusively as a commentator on matters related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian election interference.

Ken is a man with clear women issues. He doesn't respect them, and has a nice track record of abuse, and indifference toward them.

Baylor University President Ken Starr and his wife, Alice, lobbied for a Virginia school administrator who admitted to molesting five children under the age of 14 to be sentenced to community service rather than jail time.

Instead, a judge sentenced the man to 43 years in prison for the abuse.

The Starrs wrote a letter to a Fairfax County Circuit Court judge in September urging leniency for Christopher Kloman, a retired administrator for the Potomac School in McLean, Va.

The Washington Post reported that Kloman pleaded guilty to molesting five girls who attended his school during the 1960s and 1970s, though the abuse was not reported until 2011 ...
