The Florida judge who signed off the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is closely linked to Jeffrey Epstein and Barack Obama, it has been revealed.
Bruce Reinhart has a history of representing senior employees of Jeffrey Epstein, including Lolita Express pilots, his scheduler, and his “Yugoslavian sex slave”, before he sanctioned the ‘unannounced’ search on Mar-a-Lago yesterday.
Reinhart left the local US Attorney’s office over a decade ago to set up a private practice and worked closely with Epstein by representing his staff members.

He was accused in a lawsuit of breaking the Justice Department’s policies by using information from his previous job to benefit in the private sector, which he denied.
Daily Mail report: Reinhart was also revealed to have donated to Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008 and Jeb Bush’s when he ran against Trump in 2015.
The FBI searched Trump’s estate as part of a probe into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida mansion.
The ex-president revealed the raid in a lengthy statement and said the Feds broke into a safe at his home as they hunted the documents.
The agents are reported to have seized 15 boxes worth of classified information but have not commented on what they contained.
Sources told the New York Post Reinhart approved the FBI warrant that let them ransack the Florida mansion yesterday morning.
Agents had filed two requests with the federal magistrate in West Palm Beach before the search was carried out.
The office is made up of three judges – William Matthewman, Ryon McCabe and Reinhart, who was assigned the cases.
The two warrant applications entered the system on Monday but do not disclose that Trump was the target.
Reinhart was made a magistrate judge four years ago after spending 10 years in the private sector where he worked with Epstein’s staff.
He helped the billionaire pedophile’s pilots Larry Visoski, David Rodgers, Larry Morrison and Bill Hammond.
He also worked with scheduler Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marcinkova, who was known as his ‘Yugoslavian sex slave’.
On New Year’s Day 2008 he left his job at the South Florida US Attorney’s Office and went to work with the employees the next day.
His official biography says he ‘managed a docket that covered the full spectrum of federal crimes, including narcotics, violent crimes, public corruption, financial frauds, child pornography and immigration’.
