In 2019, the Federal Judge on the case ruled in favor of the victims, holding that the government had violated the rights of Epstein’s victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act when Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement without the knowledge of his victims in 2008. In 2023, Brad spearheaded unprecedented litigation as lead counsel against the banking institutions that facilitated Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation for decades. The litigation ended in a $290 million settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $75 million settlement with Deutsche Bank on behalf of hundreds of survivors from all over the world.

0:00.0	Hi, everybody. This is Amanda, and this is the second episode in my Epstein series. I am honored today to be talking with Brad Edwards, who has fiercely and fearlessly represented 200 Epstein survivors for almost two decades, and is the attorney who exposed the prosecution's illegal conspiracy to shield Epstein from facing
0:23.5	justice. In this powerful conversation in which Brad shares details he has never shared before,
0:29.3	we walk through the incredible courage and resilience of the survivors, the secret immunity
0:35.5	deal between the federal prosecutors and Epstein and the
0:39.3	government cover-up. How the DOJ seems to be intentionally re-victimizing survivors in the way they are
0:45.1	releasing the Epstein files. How Brad secretly worked with the Southern District of New York to finally
0:50.5	arrest Epstein in 2019. And what the path forward for accountability is now that the
0:56.9	government has closed the door on further investigations and prosecutions. If you have not yet

1:41.1	Let's remember what Andrea Gibson said.
1:43.6	Even when the truth isn't hopeful,
1:46.3	the telling of it is. Here's my conversation with Brad Edwards.
1:59.3	To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. And I think it's a big part of why I wanted to be a lawyer.
2:05.6	It's a story about a brilliant, heroic attorney and his deeply dignified, courageous client
2:11.5	who both risk everything to try to extract justice from a system loyal only to power. In the book, Harper Lee writes,
2:20.3	Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway, and see it
2:26.4	through no matter what. When you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway,
