The Florida federal magistrate judge who signed off on a search
warrant authorizing the FBI raid of former President Donald
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort left the local US Attorney’s office
more than a decade ago to rep employees of convicted pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein who had received immunity in the long-running
sex-trafficking investigation of the financier.

Sources tell The Post that Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the
warrant that enabled federal agents to converge on the palatial
South Florida estate on Monday in what Trump called an
“unannounced raid on my home.”

Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in March 2018 after 10
years in private practice. That November, the Miami Herald
reported that he had represented several of Epstein’s employees
— including, by Reinhart’s own admission to the outlet,
Epstein’s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia
Marcinkova, who Epstein once reportedly described as his
“Yugoslavian sex slave.”

Kellen and Marcinkova were among Epstein’s lieutenants who were
granted immunity as part of a controversial 2007 deal with
federal prosecutors that allowed the pervert to plead guilty to
state charges rather than federal crimes. Epstein wound up
serving just 13 months in county jail and was granted work
release.

According to the outlet, Reinhart resigned from the South
Florida US Attorney’s Office effective on New Year’s Day 2008
and went to work for Epstein’s cohorts the following day.
Epstein, who was found dead in August 2019 of an apparent
suicide in the Manhattan Correctional Center while awaiting
trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, had hired a stable of
high-powered lawyers, including former independent counsel
Kenneth Starr.

Reinhart was later named in a civil lawsuit that accused him of
violating Justice Department policies by switching sides in the
middle of the Epstein investigation, suggesting he had used
inside information about the probe to build favor with the
notorious defendant, the Herald reported in 2018.

In a 2011 affidavit, Reinhart denied he had done anything
improper and insisted that since he was not involved in the
federal investigation of Epstein, he was not privy to inside
information about the case.

However, in a 2013 court filing, Reinhart’s former colleagues
contradicted him, saying that he had “learned confidential, non-
public information about the Epstein matter.” Reinhart noted to
the Herald in response that a complaint filed against him by a
lawyer for Epstein’s victims had been dismissed by the Justice
Department.

In his 12 years as a federal prosecutor, according to his
official biography, Reinhart “managed a docket that covered the
full spectrum of federal crimes, including narcotics, violent
crimes, public corruption, financial frauds, child pornography
and immigration.”

Reinhart is one of three federal magistrate judges in the West
Palm Beach offices of the US District Court for the Southern
District Court of Florida, along with William Matthewman and
Ryon McCabe.

Two recent warrant applications were assigned to Reinhart and
entered into the court system on Monday, the Miami Herald
reported, but those warrants and information about who they
targeted remain sealed. Records show another warrant was issued
by Reinhart on Friday, but its contents were also sealed.

Trump confirmed media reports of a raid at his Florida resort on
Monday evening, saying Mar-a-Lago was “under siege, raided, and
occupied by a large group of FBI agents.”

The agents were reportedly searching the seaside property for
boxes of classified documents Trump allegedly brought to the
ritzy resort after he left the White House in January 2021,
which would be a violation of federal record-keeping laws.

The National Archives and Records Administration said in
February that it found classified documents in 15 boxes at Mar-a-
Lago and alerted the FBI.

The removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations is
banned under federal law, although Trump had wide powers when he
was president to declassify documents.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago comes amid the House select committee’s
continuing investigation into Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021,
attack on the US Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020
presidential election results.

A federal grand jury is also investigating the riot and Trump’s
efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

No longer a swamp. It's quicksand. Look at all the dubious
connections between Judges, FBI administrators, Foreign
entities, elected officials, etc.. We do indeed have a very
corrupt government that is slowly eroding the foundations of
America and they are on the brink of winning. Trump is a man
they have feared since he ran for President and continue to fear
thus seeking to completely destroy him. The American people
better wake up and take control of their government and rid it
of the criminals currently in the majority.
