Elie Honig criticized the proposal for President Trump to appoint a special counsel for the Jeffrey Epstein case, stating it lacks merit. Attorney General Pam Bondi's assertion that no client list exists contrasts with her earlier claims. The Department of Justice concludes Epstein's death was a suicide. Trump dismissed questions about the special counsel suggestion. Honig noted that special counsels are typically appointed for ongoing criminal investigations that present conflicts of interest, which is not the case here, given Epstein's death and other legal complexities.
The suggestion of a special counsel to investigate the Jeffrey Epstein case makes no sense, according to legal analysts. It would serve only as a superficial solution.
A special counsel appointment would simply allow the administration to claim it took action without addressing any real legal issues surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
