Ellie Leonard on Jane Doe 4 FBI Notes With Update

Jane Doe 4 was initially part of a 2014 federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for its 2008 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein, but her addition was unsuccessful; she later dropped a separate 2019 civil case against Epstein's estate involving alleged abuse as a teenager in the 1980s.This is a story of victims versus the State, where the only one with something to lose is the one holding evidence against themselves. And it's a convoluted story made into a comprehensible saga, with all the twists and turns, by Ellie Leonard's excellent reportage.

Ellie Leonard works tirelessly and her output is as exceptional as it is prolific and well-researched. Plus listen for an update at the end which happened an hour after Ed's interview with Ellie concluded.
