At #SDNY, Epstein processing continues: now in 23B for presentment before Mag Judge Pitman. Then to Judge Berman in 17B

Three lawyers for Epstein have come into #SDNY 23B. Still no Epstein. @SDNYLIVE

As Epstein lawyers read report, speculation they'll ask for release to private guards like UN briber Ng Lap Seng @SDNYLIVE

One of Epstein's lawyer is squinting into his smart phone - or pocket Constitution? Or precedent? innercitypress.com/sdny4epstein2i…

While UN briber Ng Lap Seng was 47 St before trial, in June Judge Ramos detained Ignatov of #OneCoin innercitypress.com/sdny1onecoinig…

For Epstein, Judge Pitman's Courtroom Deputy has arrived in #SDNY 23B. Now the Asst US Attns from the presser

Epstein is in, in prison blues, sitting now between two lawyers in suits. Three prosecutores in front. Only lacking Judge

Judge Pitman is in. Reid Weingarten of Steptoe is lead counsel and yes, Ms Comey with prosecution (camera flurry at presser)

Judge Pitman goes right to bail arguments. Gov't seeks detention - says Epstein has 6 residences, 2 jets, incentive to flee

Prosecutor proud no leaks of investigation. Says Epstein refused any disclosure of assets to Pre Trial Services. @SDNYLIVE

US says Epstein "forced off the road" father of a victim. Now cites photos found in 9 E 71 St, & massage table still there

Weingarten cites Florida US Attorney deal "consummated," says Epstein since settled lawsuits in the normal course. Normal?

Weingarten has seen NPA, doesn't have it in front of him, won't confirm limited to FLA. Calls this indictment a "do-over."

Epstein lawyer Weingarten says sex trafficking law is for "servicing 15 to 20" a day, cites Holder &,,, Comey (!) @SDNYLIVE

Now Epstein's lawyer Weingarten asks until the end of the week to make a bail proposal in writing, Thursday.

US says Federal law does not recognize child prosecution; Judge Pitman says citing "only statutory rape" does not sut well

On Epstein, next on bail will be Thursday, July 11 at 2. Now to Judge Berman's

Weingarten ultimately said his reference to "only statutory rape" was a senior moment, adds that he meant "no penetration"

Same group re-assembled 6 stories down in #SDNY 17B. Judge Berman is moving around the courtroom. And Geoffrey Berman here

Seems Judge Berman is taking over the bail hearing/issue from Magistrate Judge Pitman. He asks if victims have been notified

Epstein is Tier III sex offender in NY. Judge Berman asks of impact of photos found in 9 E 71 St. Now: NYS will be notified

Now Weingarten tells Judge Berman that photos found Saturday are "ancient," or of adults. Judge asks if Florida NPA public

Weingarten says Florida US Attorney's Office may have violated the Non Prosecution Agreement by steering victims to #SDNY

Epstein's CVRA attorney from Boston takes to the podium. What's the third lawyer here for? Did he rep Vincent Esposito too?

Epstein's lawyee says he has only one valid passport, two others were "rescinded." Like UN briber Ng Lap Seng? @SDNYLIVE

Judge Berman moves bail hearing from Thursday before Magistrate Pitman to next Monday at 10. District Judge's perogative...

Judge Berman wants Epstein bail filing Thursday noon, gov reply Friday 5 pm. Argument Monday July 15, 10 am. Time excluded
