The Hunter Hunted: DOJ Tracked Journalist Julie K. Brown Who Exposed Jeffrey Epstein
New reports reveal the DOJ tracked Julie K. Brown, the journalist who exposed Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. A look at the implications for press freedom.
The woman who brought down a monster was being watched—and not just by criminals. Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald journalist whose relentless investigation led to the downfall of Jeffrey Epstein, was reportedly tracked by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ Tracking Journalist Julie K. Brown Controversy
Brown spent years digging into Epstein’s history, culminating in the 2018 series 'Perversion of Justice.' Her work identified 80 victims and exposed the 2008 'sweetheart deal' that allowed the millionaire pedophile to evade serious consequences. According to reports from Boing Boing, her reporting exerted enough public pressure to force prosecutors to finally arrest Epstein in 2019.
Surveillance of the Fourth Estate
It's now coming to light that while Brown was holding power accountable, the state was monitoring her. This revelation raises serious questions about the DOJ's use of surveillance resources against members of the press. Tracking a journalist who is uncovering government failures and judicial corruption is a move often associated with authoritarian regimes, not a democracy committed to free speech.
