The US Department of Justice will ask today to declassify the documents relating to the big investor and sexual predator Jeffreya case that has been in a difficult position to the US president Donald Trump In the last few days.
On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal published an explosive report, arguing that in the early 2000s the then New York Real Estate Real Estate, who would later became President sent to Estain an enigmatic letter to his 50th birthday. Angry, Trump immediately announced that he intends to appeal to justice against the newspaper and its owner, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
Pressure, from part of the Republicans, he also asked the Minister of Justice to publicize all the testimonies given in the context of the judicial proceedings against Jeffrey Estain, who died in prison in 2019 before his trial began.
Minister Pam Bodi today confirmed that it is “ready” to ask court to lift the judicial secret regarding the deposits given to a jury. Based on the US system, the jury consists of citizens who are accidentally selected and, after studying testimonies and evidence in a case, consider whether there is a reason to prosecute a person.
Trump clarified that the decision to disclose the minutes would be taken by the courts and not by him.
Daniel Goldam, a Democratic MP and former federal prosecutor, commented, however, that the documents that the government wants to make concern only concern Estain and his partner, Gislen Maxwell, who has already been convicted of the case.
Trump has been under pressure for a week and even some supporters have accused the government of wanting to close the case very quickly, even though he had pledged to make revelations.
Estain was arrested and accused in July 2019 of sexual exploitation of minors and a gang setting up to sexual exploitation of minors. A month later he was hanged in his cell and, based on the official finding, committed suicide. The death of this friend of many stars and powerful politicians fueled a multitude of conspiracy theories, according to which he was murdered to prevent the revelations he would make for particularly prominent persons.
Members of the Make America Great Again movement of Trump have been calling for years to be released by the supposed “secret list” of Estain’s customers. Ten days ago, however, the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Police, the FBI, found that there was no evidence of such a list or that some persons were blackmailed. This announcement was accepted by a host of angry posts from Maga accounts on social networking sites.
Trump reacted by calling his supporters “idiots” and asking them to “deal with something else”, while accusing the Democrats of “orchestrating” his involvement in the case.
