    “I think I’ve heard that name?” she remembers thinking when the hiring attorney told her whom the firm would be representing. “Then I googled who this person was and I’m like, Holy shit!”

    The name she’d googled was Joaquín “El Chapo” Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, the infamous leader of the Sinaloa cartel. Colón Miró would go on to join El Chapo’s trial team as an attorney and impress his seasoned defense attorneys so much that one of them hired her to join Jeffrey Epstein’s defense team before the convicted sex offender committed suicide.

    When I pointed out just how reviled Guzmán and Epstein are, Colón Miró chuckled. Her response was the closest she came to saying a bad word about either of them. “We are all sinners,” she said. “Some of us are sinners that happened to break the law.”

    Closer than I expected... This is similar to what I remember reading I will trying to source the article I read from mentoned the case being sealed after a bribe from El Chapo to Clinton was sourced in the evidence.
