Eight Epstein victims sue FBI over failure to investigate sex abuse tips as early as 1996 - eviltoast

Between 1996 and 2005, the FBI continued to receive reports of sexual abuse, trafficking and human rights violations, yet failed to act, the women say. In 2002, Epstein was given secret service clearance for travel to Africa, where he travelled with former President Bill Clinton — according to testimony by former Epstein pilot Larry Visoski — and several “very young women.”

During that time, Epstein repeatedly initiated passports and visas for his victims for such international travel but skirted the required background checks, a red flag the FBI failed to investigate, the women said.

    Bill Clinton was President from 1993 to 2001. Clinton’s presidency fits the beginning of the timeline of when the abuse happened.

    Why isn’t the United States Secret Service and the Justice Department being sued along with the FBI?

    I’m going to continually assume Trump gave the order to kill Epstein but it makes me wonder how many in the government Epstein’s death benefited.
