Alan Dershowitz Loses Bid to Access Secret Jeffrey Epstein Files




https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/alan-dershowitz-loses-bid-to-access-secret-jeffrey-epstein-files/ar-BB18Sx79?li=BBnbfcL

Harvard Law professor emeritus and celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz was dealt a setback in federal court on Wednesday after repeated efforts to access a full suite of documents related to his former client Jeffrey Epstein were denied.

"Mr. Dershowitz has had several bites at this particular apple,” Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska says at the outset of her order.

Dershowitz has made several failed attempts to modify a years-old protective order in the settled defamation case between Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre and alleged Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. While the lawsuit between Giuffre and Maxwell was settled in 2015, Giuffre and her legal team have fought for years to unseal the entirety of the documents in that case.

Those documents make up just some of the Epstein files sealed by various courts and are widely believed to contain the names of numerous elites in politics, finance and the arts who presumably took part in the infamous pedophile’s alleged global child sex-trafficking operation.

I'm not sure if Dershowitz wanted them unsealed; he may have just wanted personal access for himself and his legal team.

Giuffre wants the whole world to see them.
