Epstein praised Kavanaugh during his 2018 hearings, called scrutiny a "trap," and urged undermining Ford’s credibility, though no meeting occurred.
Newly released Justice Department documents show Jeffrey Epstein expressed sympathy for Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 Supreme Court confirmation hearings, calling the scrutiny a “trap” and criticizing the appointment of prosecutor Rachel Mitchell as a “critical and maybe lethal mistake.” Epstein, who had ties to Kenneth Starr—Kavanaugh’s former supervisor—suggested questions to undermine Christine Blasey Ford’s credibility, including about her family’s mental health and inconsistencies in her testimony.
He also referenced having “sat in Kavanaugh’s chair,” though no evidence shows Epstein and Kavanaugh ever met or that Kavanaugh knew of Epstein’s comments.
The documents offer insight into Epstein’s views on high-profile legal cases but do not establish a direct connection between him and Kavanaugh.
Epstein elogió a Kavanaugh durante sus audiencias de 2018, calificó el escrutinio como una "trampa" e instó a socavar la credibilidad de Ford, aunque no se produjo ninguna reunión.
