"Eisen, who has pursued more than 100 legal matters against Trump since his second inauguration, explained that he wanted to try the case in the court of law and the court of public opinion. He asked for an update on an op-ed he had written raising questions about "a potential cover up" of Trump's dealings with Epstein. He wanted a plan from Lavora Barnes, the former Michigan party chair, about how they would get elected leaders to discuss the Epstein records."
"Days after Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to put an end to the Justice Department's revelations about Jeffrey Epstein, captains of the legal resistance gathered by Zoom. Norm Eisen, a former attorney for Barack Obama's White House, had convened lawyers, Democratic communications strategists, a neoconservative Trump critic, and a former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party. This one was big, Eisen said from his parked car in Baltimore, where he had traveled for a lawsuit to overturn President Donald Trump's cuts to AmeriCorps."
Pam Bondi attempted to halt Justice Department revelations about Jeffrey Epstein. Norm Eisen gathered lawyers, strategists, and political operatives by Zoom to pursue rapid legal action. The team planned a Hail Mary Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to compel DOJ disclosure of any documents tying Epstein to Donald Trump. Eisen relied on a legal theory that DOJ's prior argument for unsealing grand-jury testimony created grounds to demand disclosure. The effort combined courtroom litigation and public-opinion strategies, including op-eds, outreach to elected leaders, and a coordinated press plan to publicize the record requests.
