Miami Herald Investigative journalist Julie K. Brown, whose reporting in 2018 essentially reopened the Jeffrey Epstein case, wants to know why her flight information is in Epstein's files.
“Does anyone at the Department of Justice want to tell me why information about my July 2019 American Airlines bookings and flights is part of the Epstein files (attached to the grand jury subpoena)?” she wrote Sunday X. “Since the flight itinerary had my maiden name on it (and I booked the flight), why was the Department of Justice tracking me?”
“I expected my name to be in the Epstein files because the Miami Herald published the Perversion of Justice series,” Brown continued her story. Substack. “But what I didn't expect to see was American Airlines flight records for 2019 that included my full name, including my maiden name, which I don't use professionally. It's an unusual name, so it's clear it's me.”
The published flight logs occurred during the first Trump administration, around the time of Epstein's arrest, which begs the question: Why were they following a reporter who was instrumental in bringing Epstein's crimes to public attention?
If that's not all, then Brown may have to write another book.
