Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from a case involving sex trafficking-related charges filed against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports. Bloomberg News, citing an anonymous Justice Department official, reported Barr came to the decision after speaking with ethics officials within the department. But Barr will remain recused from any Justice Department review of its decision in 2008 to let Epstein avoid prosecution on federal sex trafficking offenses. Federal prosecutors in Florida at the time reached a plea deal with Epstein that allowed him to plead guilty to two state charges of soliciting a prostitute while avoiding a long prison sentence.
Epstein served 13 months in a Florida state prison following the plea deal.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
Barr had considered whether he needed to recuse himself from the new case because Epstein had once hired attorneys from the law firm Barr previously worked at.

I already asked the admin moderator to correct it.

Sounds like a sensible approach.
Is he a pirate? Or a buccaneer?
AG BARR is not going to be pushed around.
“Is he a pirate? Or a buccaneer?”
Neither.
I am less than perfect at cut and paste.
But good reply.
I guess all those millions of illegals went away.
Nor AG Arr!
Expectedly, DU is in turmoil over this. Pearl clutching, teeth gnashing, derangement.

Is this good or bad, for our side?
September 19th is still a few months off.
Was It too much trouble for the media to get this right the first time.
OOOOOO, I know it hurts snowflakes to have to “investigate,”
but just TRY TO GET THE FACTS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
What a bunch, crowd, army of unprofessional losers.
I would get another job at this point.
No offense. Sometimes funny stuff happens. Better to smile about it.
"Arrr not!"
