โ€œI relieved Denise George of her duties as attorney general this weekend. I thank her for her service to the people of the Territory during the past four years as Attorney General and wish her the best in her future endeavors. Assistant Attorney General Carol Thomas-Jacobs will serve as Acting Attorney General,โ€ the governor said in the prepared statement with the customary paragraph touting transparency.

 

Following that statement. Motta could not immediately be reached for comment on reports circulating that the governor was unaware of Georgeโ€™s lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and was displeased with her previous court actions against the Epstein estate.

 

George and Justice Department spokeswoman Sandra Goomansingh did not respond to requests for comment from The Daily News.

 

Bryan appointed George as attorney general after he took office in 2019, and since January 2020, George has spent considerable time and Justice Department resources pursuing another civil suit against Epsteinโ€™s estate, which claimed his attorneys and associates fraudulently obtained tax benefits from the V.I. government through the Economic Development Authority.
