Court documents reveal that it was Judge Bruce E. Reinhart that signed off on the FBI’s Monday raid at the residence.

Reinhart was sworn in as United States Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of Florida on March 14, 2018. Previously, he had served in a private practice for a decade, as well as Assistant US Attorney in West Palm Beach from 1996 to 2008, and served as a Trial Attorney in the Public Integrity Section of the US Department of Justice from 1988 to 1996.

In 2008, he left his position as a US Attorney and went to work for Epstein’s associates.

According to the Miami Herald, Reinhart was hired on January 2, 2008, to represent accomplices of Epstein, who would later go on to receive federal immunity for allegedly trafficking underage girls.
