Interview with FBI naming Epstein co-conspirator completely missing in files: survivor
According to one of the victims of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a series of emails and the record of an interview she gave with an FBI agent dating back to 2019 is nowhere to be found in what Attorney General Pam Bond’s Department of Justice has released.
Appearing on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,“ Epstein survivor Jess Michaels, who sat in the gallery as Bondi testified on Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, said she has not heard from the DOJ and has had to ask for outside helphelp in tracking down the trail of documents she provided to the FBI.
MS NOW co-host Jackie Alemany asked, “Have you been contacted or interviewed for any of these pending investigations? And have you heard from Pam Bondi's office since her appearance on Capitol Hill?”
“No, we have heard nothing. And I am one of the people that's 302 [ the official form used by agents to summarize witness interviews ] is missing,” Michaels replied. “And I have been working with a journalist.”
“They have reached out to the FBI –– there is an email exchange between me and FBI agent, Special Agent Amanda Young that shows that we had just spoken, and I had given important information about a potential co-conspirator, and we can't find my 302.”
“We can't find the dozens of emails that were sent when I, the first time that I reached out to the FBI, it was in September of 2019. And then it would take a year and a half for that agent, Special Agent Amanda Young, to actually take a victim statement. And now that statement can't be found in the files.”
She later explained, “I was told that my victim statement would be used in the prosecution's case against Ghislaine Maxwell. And when they explain what that process would look like, they were saying that interestingly, they would have to redact all of the identifying information except my name because the defense was trying to release victims names long before the trial in order to intimidate us, which, interestingly, seems to be the same tactic that's being used right now.”
