Convicted child predator and chief Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell

Jack Scarola, attorney for victims of convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein, said Epstein was "given an incredible sweetheart deal" during his 2008 prosecution by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (who later served as Trump's secretary of labor) and also "provided with a non-prosecution agreement that immunized named coconspirators and unnamed coconspirators from federal prosecution from any crime they may have committed."

During an appearance on CNN Tuesday evening, Scarola called this action a "totally unjustifiable concession to a criminal defendant that has never been explained."

He continued: "And I don't know how it could ever rationally be explained. In addition to that, the terms of that agreement were actively concealed from the victims, when federal law required them to be informed of the agreement and to have an opportunity to be heard about it. Those are questions that need to be explained."

Las week, the Justice Department (DOJ) released the transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's interview with imprisoned Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

When asked by host Jake Tapper about the transcripts, Scarola said, "Those interviews resembled more a choreographed dance than the interrogation of a convicted child molesting conspirator and an accused perjurer. This was not an effective interview by any means, but simply a platform for Ghislaine Maxwell to rewrite history."

Criticizing the DOJ over the interview, the lawyer said, "We have a situation where the person sent to interview Ghislaine Maxwell is known to be the president's criminal defense lawyer. That criminal defense lawyer was there on behalf of an individual who walks around with a pocket full of get out of jail free cards, which he has demonstrated a willingness to distribute freely."

He continued: "Who could possibly believe that under those circumstances, Ghislaine Maxwell is going to remember anything whatsoever? That is disadvantageous to the man with the pocketful of get out of jail free cards."
