Alina Habba says there will 'absolutely' be new criminal prosecutions from Epstein list release
Americans should expect to see new criminal prosecutions brought against individuals revealed to be involved in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilic sex trafficking ring.
Counselor to the President Alina Habba said those on the client list and who protected their friends from being outed as rapists and pedophiles need to be held accountable.
She also said that the 'incredibly disturbing' documents include flight logs and information with names of clients who engaged in the illegal activity.
Asked if the government will be pursuing criminal charges against these individuals, Habba said: 'Absolutely.'
'I think it would be negligent for us not to,' she told Piers Morgan on his show Uncensored. 'You have to hold individuals who are indeed rapists accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion.'
'Nobody should be just dismissed,' she went on. 'You have to have your time in court, and your case will be heard.'
'But to hide lists, to protect political friends, all of that – we don't have time for that.'
But the New York Post reports that a client list is not among the information that will be included in the initial release.

The only person who has been tried and convicted so far in the Epstein gas is British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell (right). She was convicted in 2021 on federal charges for sex trafficking after she recruited young girls for the pedophilic ring, as well as child sex abuse and prostitution.
The files were compiled in binders circulating around the White House on Thursday afternoon labeled 'phase one,' suggesting that more drops will be forthcoming.
One person who reviewed the files in the West Wing said the release will likely be a 'disappointment' to those eager for bombshell new evidence that connects Epstein to prominent political figures and business leaders.

Epstein hd a decades-long association with Maxwell. She was convicted in 2021 on federal charges for sex trafficking after she recruited young girls for the pedophilic ring, as well as child sex abuse and prostitution.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were at the White House on Thursday morning ahead of their promised release of the so-called Epstein Files.
'There's a general frustration with accountability – we take it halfway, we don't take it home,' Habba said of bringing new criminal charges in the Epstein case. 'And I really believe now with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.'
The documents hit Bondi's desk earlier this week and she said that they would be made public on Thursday.
Habba served as a defense attorney to Trump starting in 2021 and now has a desk just steps away from the Oval Office. She remains a top legal advisor to Trump as Counselor to the President
Habba said that they information in the documents will reveal the extent of the scandal is 'far worse' than was expected after Bondi revealed on Wednesday that there are 250 victims whose identities she needs to protect.
'We have to be patient… when you're dealing with victims,' Habba told Morgan.
After Epstein's death in August 2019, many felt justice would not be brought to the victims of his organized sex trafficking operation and that the identity of his co-conspirators would forever remain a government secret.
But Trump issued an executive order last month directing Bondi to release previously classified records, including the Epstein Files and documents on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
