Florida state senator receiving threats after calling for Epstein investigation, spokesperson says

A Florida lawmaker says she received death threats after she asked the governor to launch a state investigation into the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office's handling of Jeffrey Epstein during his prison sentence.

A spokesperson for Sen. Lauren Book (D-Hollywood) also says she received calls to cease and desist her efforts.

TheMiami Herald is reporting that Book has reached out to Capitol police in Washington, D.C. about the threats.

that would be career suicide for a lawyer

It could be some other players, co-conspirators trying to hide, folks that he was blackmailing, crooked cops or others involved in the cover-up
