Bruce Reinhart

Key Findings

• EFTA00225378: Villafana declared that AUSA Reinhart was her office neighbor and colleague. When she sought his counsel on strategy for handling Epstein's assistants, Reinhart disclosed he was 'best friends' with defense attorney Jack Goldberger and could not discuss the case further
• EFTA00798522 (Jan 2008): 'He left the U.S. Attorney's Office on Jan. 1, 2008, and went to work representing Epstein's employees on Jan. 2, 2008, court records show'
• EFTA01072101: Reinhart's private practice office was 'not only in the same building (and on the same floor) as Epstein's lead criminal defense counsel, Jack Goldberger, but it was actually located right next door to the Florida Science Foundation — an Epstein-owned and -run company where Epstein spent his work release'
• EFTA01072101: Represented Sarah Kellen (Epstein's number one co-conspirator named in the NPA), housekeeper Lonella Ruboyo, and pilots Larry Morrison, Larry Visoski, David Rogers, William Hammond, and Robert Roxburgh
• EFTA01138760: Government admitted in CVRA litigation that 'former AUSA Reinhart learned confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter, and he discussed the Epstein matter with another Assistant U.S. Attorney working on the Epstein matter'
• EFTA00667654 (Jan 2010): Reinhart wrote to Epstein's staff: 'please tell Jeffrey that, despite repeated requests to Darren, I have not been paid since the end of September. The amount currently owed is just under $40,000'
• EFTA00386884 (Jul 23, 2013): Goldberger told Epstein: 'talking to Reinhart about our paranoia. He says we are so far out in the weeds. Not in anyones crosshairs.' Goldberger proposed: 'Want me to set up a meeting for the 3 of us?'
• EFTA02770202 (2011): Reinhart was AUSA in SDFL during Epstein criminal investigation, then left the US Attorney's Office and was immediately hired by Epstein to represent pilots and co-conspirators during civil cases
• Government formally admitted (RFA No. 15) that Reinhart learned confidential Epstein information as AUSA — directly contradicting his sworn affidavit to the court that he "never learned any confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter" (doe-v-us-npa Doc 361-att31)
• Established private defense firm at the exact same address and suite number as Epstein's personal business. Represented Epstein's co-conspirators (pilots, staff) in civil litigation (doe-v-us-npa Doc 225-att1)
• Set up his private defense firm at the EXACT SAME ADDRESS AND SUITE NUMBER as Epstein's personal business. Represented Epstein's co-conspirators (Sarah Kellen, pilots, staff) in civil litigation while sitting next door to Epstein's Florida Science Foundation (doe-v-us-npa Doc 225-att1, Edwards affidavit)
• Filed sworn affidavit to the court: "I never learned any confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter." Government's own formal admissions (RFA No. 15) directly contradicted this: "The government admits that, while Bruce E. Reinhart was an Assistant U.S. Attorney, he learned confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter" and "discussed the Epstein matter with another AUSA working on the case" (doe-v-us-npa Doc 361-att31)
