After U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reported that more than 3 million new documents related to the investigation of Epstein had been made public, new details emerged. A coincidence that came to light in the documents drew attention. It was revealed in the latest files that Reid Weingarten, the lawyer of FETÖ leader Fetullah Gülen, who died in the U.S., was also Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.
While the files that expose Jeffrey Epstein's dirty network remain in the spotlight, a detail leaked from the legal world has ignited discussions. It has emerged that the lawyer who conducted the defense strategies for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of child abuse and establishing a prostitution network, is the same person as FETÖ leader Fethullah Gülen: Reid Weingarten.
SAME LAWYER, SAME DEFENSE LINE
Recognized as one of the most influential and high-paid defense attorneys in the U.S., Reid Weingarten played a leading role during the critical periods of both names.
Weingarten was a key figure in the defense team for Epstein's first sexual abuse case in 2008, which was described as "the lightest sentence of the century."
SENIOR LAWYER IN THE EXTRADITION CASE OF FETÖ LEADER
As one of the lawyers at Steptoe & Johnson law firm, Weingarten was one of the senior lawyers in Gülen's main defense team in the U.S. against Turkey's extradition requests. This issue has been reported multiple times in the U.S. press.
"SAVIOR" LAWYER FOR HIGH-PROFILE NAMES
In the foreign press, Weingarten is recognized not only for Epstein and Gülen but also as the "savior lawyer" for controversial figures such as the famous director Roman Polanski, who is accused of rape, and executives of major companies involved in large corruption scandals.
Weingarten's client portfolio generally consists of names that cause international crises and hold billion-dollar power balances.
