Michael Reiter is one of the most important figures in the Jeffrey Epstein case who you’ve probably never heard of.
The former Palm Beach police chief rarely talks about the Epstein case, even though it is the defining case of his 40-year career. 🧵
UPDATED: Jeffrey Epstein's personal assistant Sarah Kellen alleges three men besides Epstein abused her, including former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hair stylist Frederic Fekkai, the Miami Herald has confirmed.
"Us victims never had a chance," she said in testimony before House Oversight Committee. https://t.co/ykx9OtbGdO

(Gift) Miami Herald Exclusive: Corrections officer tells FBI, federal judge, that boxes of documents were shredded at the Metropolitan Corrections Center after Epstein's death. Feds also talk about missing files https://t.co/TnvmXwsbC5
NEW: House Oversight Committee wants to interview Epstein prison guard who worked the night Epstein died. Interview request comes after @miamiherald exclusively reported that she was overheard by inmate talking about covering up his killing. Here is a free link to our story: https://t.co/Fvb2SvZjrU
"Using archived government records and news accounts, The Post and Courier found that the woman provided verifiable details to agents about her family background and its legal entanglements. She offered the name of an Epstein business associate on Hilton Head Island who became a central figure in the drama, with specifics that are reflected in public records." https://t.co/u0IrZfKbwT via @postandcourier
BREAKING: An inmate housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s death on the morning he died, per the Miami Herald
Opinion: Bondi's not in the justice business. She's in the cover-up business. And that's exactly what the House Oversight Committee should question her about. https://t.co/1I7RjVWOMn
We are 7 days into an expanding US-Israeli military campaign against Iran.
Trump has still not offered a coherent explanation for why he initiated the conflict or what the endgame is.
6 US service members are dead.
Russia is providing intel to help Iran target U.S. troops/assets. WH says it doesn’t matter.
China is considering whether to provide some support to Iran, if it is not already.
More US strikes are expected, potentially with higher risk as the Pentagon says it intends to hit targets deeper inside Iran itself — using aircraft, not standoff missiles.
Congress has not voted on whether to declare war. Oil tankers can’t move through the Strait of Hormuz — fueling global economic concerns.
Neither Trump nor Iran signaling they are looking for an off ramp.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.
