"Despite the Biglaw focus of Above the Law, it's almost strange to refer to George J. Mitchell as merely the former chair of international law firm DLA Piper. While absolutely accurate, Mitchell is also a former senator from Maine, a former Democratic Senate Majority Leader, a former special adviser and US Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, a key negotiator of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, a former Special Envoy to the Middle East, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
"There's more news about Mitchell from the recent release of Epstein files. A FBI document from December 2020 described an account of a girl, whose name is redacted, which includes having sex multiple times with Mitchell. According to the document, Mitchell asked for a blow job and sex and the girl "did what she was told." A spokesperson for Mitchell said, "Senator Mitchell reiterates unequivocally that he never met, spoke with, or had any contact ... with any underage women.""
"In 2019, Mitchell denied the allegation made by Giuffre as "false." Mitchell continued, "I have never met, spoken with or had any contact with Ms. Giuffre. In my contacts with Mr. Epstein, I never observed or suspected any inappropriate conduct with underage girls. I only learned of his actions when they were reported in the media related to his prosecution in Florida. We have had no further contact.""
George J. Mitchell served as a senator, Democratic Senate Majority Leader, special adviser and U.S. Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, negotiator of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, Special Envoy to the Middle East, and former chair of DLA Piper. He has been accused by Virginia Giuffre of being instructed by Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with her. A December 2020 FBI document describes a redacted account alleging multiple sexual encounters with Mitchell and states he asked for a blow job and sex. A spokesperson denied any contact with underage women and expressed regret for knowing Jeffrey Epstein. Mitchell denied Giuffre's allegation in 2019 and documents suggest possible post-2008 contact.
