From: (USAFLS)" To: ' Subject: Fw: Revised Epstein Disclosure Date: Sat, 28 May 2011 15:53:26 +0000 Importance: Normal Can you take another look? This is shorter. If you are ok, I am going to send to Jeff Sloman for his review next. From: (mains° Sent: Saturdayllay_Mi 2011 11:50 AM To: (USAFLS) Subject: Revised Epstein Disclosure I was the line attorney assigned to the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein into allegations of sexual misconduct with minor females. As explained by The New York Times, Mr. Epstein had been charged by a Florida grand jury with an offense that would have resulted in no prison time. "But then the United States Attorney's Office in Miami became involved. Last summer, Mr. Epstein got an ultimatum: plead guilty to a charge that would require him to register as a sex offender, or the government would charge him with sexual tourism[.]" ("Financier Starts Sentence in Prostitution Case," The New York Times, July 1, 2008.) One of the other terms of the agreement with Epstein, which was made public by The Palm Beach Post, is that Epstein had to pay damages to the victims of his misconduct, and he had to pay for a private attorney to represent them. In an effort to set aside the agreement, attorneys for Mr. Epstein made allegations of misconduct regarding the investigation against myself and others. I referred the matter to the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which determined that the allegation did not warrant the opening of a full investigation. Also in connection with the Epstein matter, one of the victims' private attorneys complained to the Florida Bar about letters that I sent to unrepresented victims notifying them of the Special Master's selection of the attorney representative, accusing me of soliciting business on behalf of the attorney representative. (Edward Davis served as the Special Master and selected Robert Josefsberg, Esq. of Podhurst Orseck to serve as the attorney representative.) The Florida Bar investigated and determined that my actions were required by law and not in violation of the Florida Bar Rules. Two of the Epstein victims have filed suit against the U.S. Attorney's Office alleging that they were not adequately consulted prior to the resolution of the investigation. That matter is pending. The allegations were referred to the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, but it has declined to open an investigation while the litigation is pending. The Committee is welcome to contact Mr. Josefsberg and former U.S. Attorneys Jeffrey Sloman and R. Alexander Acosta regarding these matters. EFTA00207964

Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dispute Over Minor Procurement Charge in Epstein Case

Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dispute Over Minor Procurement Charge in Epstein Case The passage reveals internal conflicts between the defense, state prosecutors, and the State Department of Florida (SDFL) regarding the specific charge to be included in Epstein's Deferred Prosecution Agreement, including references to a threatened 53‑page indictment and a missed appeal to Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher. While it names high‑profile actors (Jeffrey Epstein, AAG Fisher) and suggests possible procedural obstruction, it lacks concrete evidence of wrongdoing, financial flows, or direct misconduct, limiting its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: Disagreement over whether Epstein should be charged with 'procurement of minors' (registrable) or 'solicitation of minors' (non‑registrable).; SDFL allegedly failed to provide factual allegations needed for a registrable offense despite multiple requests.; Defense faced a deadline threatening a 53‑page indictment identifying 40 minors and a potential 188‑month sentence.

UNITED STATES' RESPONSE TO PETITIONERS' FIRST REOUEST FOR ADMISSIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT The United States (hereinafter the "government") hereby responds to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's First Request for Admissions to the Government Regarding Questions Relevant to Their Pending Action Concerning the Crime Victims Rights Act (hereinafter the "Request for Admissions"), and states as follows:' I.

Defense Claims DOJ Official Misrepresented Deferred Prosecution Agreement Modifications in Epstein Case

Defense Claims DOJ Official Misrepresented Deferred Prosecution Agreement Modifications in Epstein Case The passage outlines a dispute over a purported modification to Jeffrey Epstein's Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) by U.S. Attorney Paul Acosta and SDFL prosecutor Michael Sloman. It suggests possible procedural misconduct or bad‑faith tactics by DOJ officials, which could be a concrete lead for further FOIA requests, interview of the attorneys involved, and review of the December 19, 2007 letter. While the actors are high‑profile (U.S. Attorney, federal prosecutors), the claim is not novel and lacks specific evidence of wrongdoing beyond contradictory statements, placing it in the strong‑lead range. Key insights: Sloman threatened to terminate the DPA unless Epstein complied with a 'unilateral modification' that defense says was never formally agreed to.; The defense asserts the December 19, 2007 letter from U.S. Attorney Acosta only proposed changes, which were rejected by defense counsel.; The SDFL allegedly refused to provide needed information for Epstein to meet the alleged new pleading and sentencing requirements.

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict The passage provides concrete names (Jeffrey Sloman, Acosta, Lefkowitz, Starr) and dates (2008, 2013) showing possible obstruction of victim notifications in the Epstein case, suggesting a lead for investigating DOJ and FBI decision‑making. While it ties high‑level officials, the claim of pressure from Epstein’s attorneys is not yet corroborated, limiting the score to the high‑mid range. Key insights: Jeffrey Sloman, top aide to U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, planned to notify Epstein victims after a plea deal was signed.; Lefkowitz warned Acosta that the office had promised not to contact victims or potential claimants.; Federal prosecutors resumed the FBI investigation and interviewed witnesses in NY and NM while plea negotiations continued.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein allegedly leaked confidential Epstein prosecution details to NYT reporter The passage suggests possible prosecutorial misconduct and unauthorized media leaks in the Jeffrey Epstein case, providing names, dates, and alleged actions that could be followed up. However, similar allegations have been reported before, limiting novelty and impact. Key insights: Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein discussed confidential prosecution strategy with NYT reporter Landon Thomas.; Weinstein allegedly disclosed specifics about alleged phone luring and interstate travel for underage sex.; Weinstein reportedly warned the reporter not to trust Epstein's defense attorneys and framed the conversation as hypothetical.
