The CIA Honey Pot Behind Watergate That Bob Woodward Never Talked About
What was said
"Um, Acosta was told that Epstein was intelligence and that he had to stand down. And the government, there's only two people that can tell a US attorney to stand down. One is the attorney general, one is the president."
Nick Bryant says Alexander Acosta changed course in the Jeffrey Epstein case after being told Epstein was connected to intelligence and that he had to stand down. Bryant argues that only the US attorney general or the president could have issued such an order, naming Alberto Gonzales and George W Bush as the officials in office at the time.
