SPOTIFY UP MORE THAN 4.25% RIGHT
NOW.
>>> WELL, IN THE WAKE OF
GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S ARREST FOR
HER VOVRMENTINVOLVEMENT WITH THE
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, ATTORNEY
GENERAL FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AUDREY
STRAUSS ANNOUNCED CHARGES THIS
AFTERNOON.
>> TODAY WE ANNOUNCE CHARGES
AGAINST GHISLAINE MAXWELL FOR
HELPING JEFFREY EPSTEIN SEXUALLY
EXPLOIT AND ABUSE MULTIPLE MINOR
GIRLS FROM THE PERIOD OF 1994
THROUGH 1997.
CHERYL: ACCORDING TO THE U.S.
ATTORNEY, MAXWELL IS AN EXTREME
FLIGHT RISK AND SHE FACES UP THE
35 YEARS IN PRISON IF CONVICTED.
SHE’S IN HER 50s, WE SHOULD SAY.
SHE WENT ON TO SAY THAT MAXWELL
HAS BEEN HIDING OUT IN LOCATIONS
IN NEW ENGLAND SINCE EPSTEIN’S
ARREST.
THAT WAS A YEAR AGO.
SHE’S GOING TO MAKE HER FIRST
APPEARANCE IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
FEDERAL COURT BEFORE SHE WILL BE
TRANSFERRED TO MANHATTAN.
I WANT TO BRING IN CHARLIE
GASPARINO, WHO HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THIS STORY VERY
CLOSELY.
YOU KNOW THIS STORY VERY WELL.
THIS IS BIG NEWS TODAY, CHARLIE.
CHARLIE: YEAH, IT IS BIG NEWS,
BECAUSE IF THERE’S ANY -- IF
THERE’S ANYBODY THAT KNOWS THE
BACK STORY FULLY OF JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, THERE’S PLENTY OF
CONSPIRACY THEORIES OUT THERE
ABOUT WHO MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM.
I STILL BELIEVE HE COMMITTED
SUICIDE.
WHO WAS ON HIS ISLAND, THERE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN SPECULATION BILL
CLINTON WENT TO THE ISLAND THAT
HE OWNED THAT SOME OF THE CRIMES
WITH THE GIRLS TOOK PLACE.
OTHERS HAVE DENIED IT AS WELL.
SHE CAN PROBABLY SHED LIGHT.
HERE’S KIND OF WHAT I KNOW FROM
SPEAKING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CASE, THAT
THE FEDERAL AGENTS AND
PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO BE
MAXING OUT SECURITY AROUND
MAXWELL, SO TO SPEAK.
THEY WANT TO PREVENT ANOTHER
SUICIDE LIKE JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
THEY WANT HER TO HAVE HER DAY IN
COURT.
AND THEY WANT TO KIND OF GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF ALL THE REST OF
THIS STUFF.
THERE’S PLENTY OF NOISE.
I HAVE DONE A TON OF REPORTING
ON THIS.
I CAN TELL YOU THE CONSPIRACY
THEORIES ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN
BEGIN WITH HE GOT OFF LIGHTLY ON
THE FIRST CASE BECAUSE HE HELPED
PROSECUTE WALL STREET FINANCIAL
CRIMES FOLLOWING 2008.
THAT’S NOT TRUE.
SO THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF
STUFF THAT SHE CAN PROVIDE
EVIDENCE ON.
AGAIN, I THINK THE OTHER THING
IS WE KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE CRIME
OR WE KNOW SUBSTANTIALLY ABOUT
THE CRIME.
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW IS HOW
JEFFREY EPSTEIN ACCUMULATED HIS
MASSIVE WEALTH.
THERE’S STILL A LOT OF GRAY AREA
THERE.
I KNOW SOMEWHAT ABOUT IT.
I KNOW HE WAS A MONEY MANAGER
FOR SOME VERY POWERFUL,
INFLUENTIAL AND RICH PEOPLE.
HE MADE SOME MONEY BUT STILL, I
THINK SHE CAN PROVIDE SOME --
SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT.
ALSO, SHE CAN IMPLICATE OTHERS.
I THINK ONE THING THAT SHE COULD
DO, SHE CAN CLEAR OTHERS,
INCLUDING ALLAN DERSHOWITZ WHO
HAS BEEN DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD
ON THIS, THE LAWYER WHICH NOT A
LOT OF -- I’M SAYING THIS AS A
JOURNALIST, WEIGHING THE
EVIDENCE, THE EVIDENCE OF HIM
BEING PART OF EPSTEIN’S SCHEME
IS PRETTY WEAK TEA OR VERY WEAK,
ALMOST NONEXISTENTLY WEAK.
IT DOESN’T EXIST, MOSTLY, EXCEPT
FOR HE SAID/SHE SAID.
MAYBE SHE CAN HELP CLEAR SOME
PEOPLE’S NAMES THAT WERE
ASSOCIATED WITH.
THAT’S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS BIG NEWS.
IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING.
SHE APPARENTLY HAS $20 MILLION,
NOT BILLION, MILLION.
IT SEEMS LIKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF
MONEY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS THAT
ASSOCIATED WITH A GUY WORTH $1
BILLION AND WAS KEEPING TABS ON
HIM BUT WE’LL SEE WHY, YOU KNOW,
WHERE THAT MONEY CAME FROM.
IT WAS INTERESTING IF YOU READ
THE INDICTMENT, INTERESTING
STUFF ABOUT MONEY SLOSHING BACK
AND FORTH BETWEEN HER AND
EPSTEIN SO WE WILL GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THAT, WHY HE WAS DOING
SOME OF THAT STUFF.
WE ARE ABOUT TO GET SOME
MUCH-NEEDED LIGHT ON THIS
SUBJECT.
I WILL SAY THIS.
I WAS PART OF THE NETFLIX
DOCUMENTARY.
CHERYL: I WAS GOING TO BRING
THAT UP.
CHARLIE: IT WAS ONE THING THAT
WAS REALLY MISSING FROM THE
DOCUMENTARY WAS SOME SORT OF
ANSWER TO WHERE -- HOW MUCH
MONEY HE MADE AND WHERE IT WENT.
THEY NEVER REALLY GOT THERE.
[ SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY ]
CHARLIE: THAT WAS PART OF IT BUT
YOU CAN’T MAKE 500 TO A BILLION
DOLLARS OFF ONE GUY.
MAYBE YOU CAN.
WE NEEDED TO BOUNCE THAT AROUND.
I WANT TO SWITCH GEARS FOR A
MINUTE.
I BROKE SOME NEWS EARLIER TODAY
ABOUT A JULY 8th DATE FOR
OPENING BIDS ON THE NEW YORK
METS THAT ALLEN AND COMPANY
WHICH IS AUCTIONING THE METS HAS
STATED.
THAT’S WHAT I’M GETTING FROM
PEOPLE WHO ARE BIDDING ON THIS.
HERE’S THE INTERESTING THING.
WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT
ALEX RODRIGUEZ THROUGH JPMORGAN
TEAMED UP WITH VINNY VIOLA AND
MICHAEL PROLIE, THAT THEY WILL
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, THAT JPMORGAN
IS TELLING PEOPLE I’M NOT THERE
SO I HAVE NOT DONE THE AUDIT BUT
JPMORGAN IS SIGNALING TO OTHERS
THAT A-ROD, THEY HAVE RAISED
ENOUGH MONEY FOR A-ROD TO HAVE A
BID.
CHERYL: A-ROD AND THE METS.
STILL TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD
AROUND IT.
CHARLIE: I BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE
IT.
SO YOU KNOW.
CHERYL: CHARLIE, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
HAVE A GREAT FOURTH OF JULY.
TRY NOT TO WORK TOO MUCH.
ACTUALLY TAKE A DAY OFF.
CHARLIE: I PLAN TO TAKE ONE DAY
