SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 4 -- The day after Jeffrey
Epstein's settlement and release deal with
Virginia Roberts Giuffre was unsealed and Kurt
immediately published it on his DocumentCloud,
Prince Andrew's lawyer Andrew Brad Brettler
was to argue that Guiffre's case against the
Prince should be dismissed. Kurt rushed in to
the courthouse to cover it.
Kurt
did a live stream from the now empty and
freezing Foley Square, but it froze up and was
not not able to be viewed afterwards. Some
wrote to him saying it was part of the cover
up. He wasn't sure but replied that he'd stream
again at 1 pm, the press conference by
UN Security Council president, Epstein-linked
Mona Juul, that he was banned from.
Judge
Lewis A. Kaplan, who also had the case against
Kevin Spacey, asked Brettler how he could
argue Prince Andrew was a beneficiary of
Epstein's and Giuffre's deal, if the two of
them had committed to not show it to anyone
else.
Brettler continued arguing, but not only Kurt
but others read the exchange to mean Judge
Kaplan would allow the case to go forward, or
at least not dismiss it on these grounds.
After
a quick podcast in the fire stairs, Kurt was
back there again at 1 pm. He had emailed Mona
Juul directly
- her address was on the Norway Mission's
website - and asked her to explain how
Epstein's $130,000
personal loan to her husband Terje
Roed-Larsen had been used, and about Epstein
paying $150,000 to take "the UN community" to
see on Broadway the play Oslo, portraying her
and Terje.
There was no answer. Terje had gone on TV to
talk about the play, on the show of also
discredited Charlie
Rose; UNSG Antonio Guterres had been on
the board of IPI, which took $650,000 of
Epstein's money including for the play but
beyond it, the Mongolian project with Larry
Summers and Kevin Rudd (who claimed he'd not
taken the Epstein payment.)
The
UN Appeals Tribunal decision, with three out
of seven slamming Guterres lifetime ban, did
not draw any response from Juul or the Norway
Mission, nor any action from the U.S. State
Department to which Kurt had sent it. Kurt
finished his statements in the fire stairs,
then returned to research sex trafficking
cases, from Minneapolis to the Eastern
District.
This new project, along with one
on Peter Nygard and his Prince Andrew and
other connections, was coming together. From #MaximumMaxwell to
#MirroringMaxwell.
The underlying
case is US v. Maxwell,
20-cr-330 (Nathan).
