An investigative reporter who covered Jeffrey Epsteins sex crimes has called out the Department of Justice after discovering her flight details from the day he was arrested appear in the Epstein files.
Journalist Julie K. Brown has been credited with reactivating the investigation into Epsteins abuse of young women when the Miami Herald published her interviews with victims in November 2018, headlined "Perversion of Justice."
Brown spoke to around 80 alleged victims of Epstein, with her work earning her a George Polk Award in the category of Justice Reporting.
On Sunday, Brown posted a redacted document detailing flights she took on July 6, 2019, during Trumps first administration.

His ideological co-conspirator from the Feudalist Society Alberto Gonzalez was USAG in 2007:
Epstein had dinners with a top Florida prosecutor on his case, docs show
Tampa Bay Times, October 20, 2025
Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel the Miami U.S. Attorneys office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epsteins sweetheart deal in 2007, newly released documents show.
A tranche of over 8,500 pages of records from Epsteins estate released by the House Oversight Committee Friday show that Epsteins calendars and emails reflect that Menchel, who left the DOJ in 2007, had multiple meetings or dinners with Epstein in 2011, 2013 and 2017. Lawmakers also referred to a photograph of Menchel on a ski trip with Epstein sometime in the 2000s, but didnt produce the photo.
Contacted on Friday, Menchel initially referred the Miami Herald to a 2020 statement he had previously sent the Herald in response to questions about whether he had a business relationship with Epstein.
I had no business relationship with Mr. Epstein at any point, not before, during or after my tenure at the US Attorneys Office. He added that Epstein had tried to get his firm to handle some of the civil litigation associated with his case, but we declined.

Julie is a "he"?
From the snip:
"Her" flight details on the day "he" was arrested.
An AI editor, too?
