Jeffrey Epstein

WRITING about Jeffrey Epstein on July 30, I predicted: “Of course, it is unlikely that we will ever know the whole truth about Epstein’s activities.” 

I went further to explain: “As with the ‘scandals’ of Robert Kraft or Harvey Weinstein, the media will give us a sensationalised taste, but fail us before the weight of influence and power … there are places we cannot go.”

And one place we cannot go is to the facts behind Epstein’s death in the Federal Manhattan Correctional Centre (MCC).
