32. She was indicted when SDNY was still being run by Geoffrey Berman who was a thorn in Trump's side

Berman was appointed acting US attorney by Jeff Sessions for a 120 day term. Then the judges of the district unanimously appointed him for an indefinite period until there was a senate confirmed appointment - which Trump never got. But he did fire Sessions and replaced him with Bill Barr who eventually in the summer of 2020 forced Berman out, initially Berman refused until Barr agreed to replace him with his deputy, Audrey Strauss who brought charges against Ghislaine Maxwell.

When Biden took office, Chuck Schumer recommended Damian Williams for SDNY. He took office in October 2021 and the charges were dropped in December 2021

After the 2024 election results, Williams announced his resignation to take effect in December 2024 and he went back to Paul Weiss (where he had worked 2009-2012)

Paul Weiss is the firm that was led by Brad Karp (in the Epstein files) and agreed to give the Trump admin $40 million in pro-bono work and eliminate DEI policies in exchange for Trump rescinding his executive order targeting firm employees and taking away security clearances and access to federal buildings.

In June of 2025 Williams resigned from Paul Weiss to move to a smaller firm that stood up to the Trump administration.

I'm not accusing Williams of anything.... but... wouldn't he have known that Brad Karp was in the Epstein files before he went to Paul Weiss for the second time?
