Justice Department reporters Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer went to work investigating Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claims of video evidence in the high-profile sex trafficking case of Jeffrey Epstein. And what resulted was a deeply reported piece of accountability journalism.
After Bondi twice said the Justice Department was in possession of tens of thousands of videos showing Epstein with children or child sex abuse material, Tucker and Richer set out to try to understand as no such evidence had previously been heard of. They spent more than a month contacting law enforcement officials and lawyers involved in the criminal cases of Epstein and a co-conspirator, all of whom said they had not seen and did not know of the existence of videos.
The reporters were careful in how they reported and wrote the story, stating only what they knew and leaving open the possibility of more information emerging.
