Epstein Link Found in Judge That Approved Trump Raid

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

Numerous alarming details have surfaced about federal magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart who approved the FBI raid against President Donald Trump’s private home at Mar-a-Lago.

It turns out that Reinhart is a major Democrat supporter, donating thousands of dollars to former President Barack Obama.

He donated $1,000 to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and another $1,000 to Obama’s Victory Fund during the same election cycle.

Making matters even worse, prior to becoming a federal judge, reports show Reinhart represented employees of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Reinhart worked at a private legal practice for ten years before becoming a judge. By his own admission to the Miami Herald, he legally represented and defended Epstein’s pilots as well as his scheduler, Sarah Kellen. He also represented Nadia Marcinkova, who Epstein once described as his “Yugoslavian sex slave.”

In 2017, Reinhart allegedly disparaged Trump with a statement on social media and shared “woke” content on his personal Facebook page.

Reinhart openly criticized Trump’s “moral stature” and suggested Trump has “no sense of decency.”

At the time, Reinhart argued that Trump should “kiss John Lewis’s feet.” Instead, Trump argued that Democrat John Lewis “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.”

More on this story via Fox News:

FBI agents executed a search warrant of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday evening. Sources told Fox News Digital that the search was part of the DOJ’s investigation into whether Trump improperly took government materials from his time in office.

The FBI agents confiscated 15 boxes of classified materials during the raid, according to the sources.

“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” Trump said in a statement Monday. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”

In response, Republican lawmakers, conservative commentators and some Democrats expressed serious concern that the raid was politically motivated.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., threatened to probe the DOJ over the raid if the GOP takes majority control in the fall, and House Republican Study Committee Chair Jim Banks, R-Ind., said the action was “un-American.”
