Former AG says Virgin Islands Governor requested special waiver for Jeffrey Epstein: report

A video posted on The Hill's channel discussed a new break in the Jeffrey Epstein story and was posted with the following description: "Investigative journalist Lee Fang weighs in on his new reporting surrounding Virgin Islands Gov. Albert Bryan (D-Virgin Islands) and Jeffrey Epstein" Various reports say the governor allegedly pressured or asked the prosecutor for a special waiver for Jeffrey Epstein. The gov says Epstein did not receive any special treatment though. The Virgin Islands Daily News reported on this with important details, saying the following:

Thomas-Jacobs was serving as acting attorney general in March 2019 when she sent a letter to Epstein’s attorneys, revoking the waiver that had been implemented by former V.I. Attorney General Vincent Frazer in 2012 under then Gov. John de Jongh Jr.

The waiver allowed Epstein to avoid a rule that sex offenders inform the V.I. Justice Department 21 days before they plan to travel, and Frazer had agreed to demands from Epstein’s lawyers to reduce the notification requirement to 24 hours.

Thomas-Jacobs, George, and Frazer all sat for depositions recently in the ongoing lawsuit filed by the V.I. government against JPMorgan Chase bank, and each answered questions about the waiver.
