The Miami U.S. Attorney's Office has recused itself from the Jeffrey Epstein case, and it will now be overseen by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta. The reassignment comes just days before a deadline for prosecutors to confer with the victims' attorneys. The Justice Department is still under pressure to look into the handling of the Epstein case after attorney general nominee William Barr committed to doing so during his confirmation hearing.

The Miami U.S. Attorney's Office has recused itself from a case involving multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sexually abusing underage girls in Palm Beach, Florida. The Justice Department has reassigned the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta, where Byung J. "BJay" Pak, a former Georgia lawmaker, will oversee the case for the government. The deadline for prosecutors to confer with the victims' attorneys in an effort to settle the case is still in effect, and a federal judge has ruled that the original plea agreement broke the law by concealing it from the affected underage girls.
