Governor Bryan's Role in Enforcement Disputes

Gov. Bryan asked DPNR commissioner Oriol to pause enforcement and recuse himself during 2019.
Epstein warned enforcement could jeopardize billions in federal investment.
Email records show meetings with Epstein's attorney, Bryan's campaign manager, and Southern Trust Company offices.
USVI filed lawsuit against Epstein's estate, which settled with island sales and millions, while Bryan was questioned in 2023.
Epstein's influence persisted in USVI after 2016 acquisition, with direct access to highest official, raising governance concerns.
