Florida judge who approved FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago once represented Jeffrey Epstein’s employees: report

A federal magistrate judge in Florida who signed the search warrant to allow the FBI to raid former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate had represented several of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s employees in connection to a sex trafficking investigation, according to a report.

Judge Bruce Reinhardt approved the warrant on the South Florida estate, the New York Post reported, citing sources.

Reinhardt spent 10 years at a private practice before becoming a magistrate judge in 2018, according to his career history via Bloomberg. He previously worked as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Reinhardt’s ties to Epstein’s employees were first reported by the Miami Herald after he became a magistrate judge in 2018. He reportedly told the paper that those he represented included Epstein’s pilots, his scheduler, Sarah Kellen, and a woman Nadia Marcinkova. – READ MORE
