From: "- To: Robert Lewis <I Cc: "- Subject: RE: Epstein -- Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2019 01:02:41 +0000 Inline-Images: —WRD164.jpg; image002.jpg r r Bob, Thanks very much for being in touch, and we appreciate Mr. continued willingness to speak with us if and when that would be useful. At the moment, we don't immediately need to speak with him, and we certainly will contact you anytime that changes. We're currently working our way through a number of interviews and investigative steps on the charged case, but I do expect we'll want to speak with Mr.= in the coming weeks or months. Meanwhile, if anything else arises, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, and we'll do the same. thanks again, From: Robert Lewis Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 14:11 To: <I >; Subject: Epstein -- Dear and I represent a potential witness in your case. As you will recall, we spoke about Mr. back in March, when you reached out to see if Mr. would speak to you and we agreed that you could. Although you have not contacted Mr. = I thought you should know about some recent developments. For the last week or so the New York Times (Mike McIntire) has been aggressively reaching out to Mr. =, Jesse Rose this employment lawyer) and me (who represented him in the Maxwell case) by email and hone, as well comiaiMr. home twice. He is seeking our comments and information concerning the and Mr. testimony in the Maxwell case. According to McIntire, the Times is planning to run story on the and their ties to Epstein. It also appears that the Times has a copy of all or a portion of the deposition Mr. gave in the Maxwell case, which is troubling because it was subject to confidentiality in that case and, although the Second Circuit has ordered the unsealing of the summary judgment papers (which likely include references to Mr. deposition testimony), no mandate has issued or documents been unsealed. In addition, the Times tells us that a "representative" of the has told it that Mr. "lied" in his deposition. If a representative did that, it is both defamatory and breaches a non-disparagement provision in the settlement agreement with Mr. . The Times also informs that flight documents purportedly do not corroborate certain portions of Mr. deposition. We do not have access to those flight documents, but we understand that Epstein's flight documentation is incomplete, if not materially inaccurate. Also pursuant to his settlement of his en iti ment dispute with the , Mr. destroyed all of the documents he possessed pertaining to the , which might corroborate some of his testimony, We have rebuffed the Times' entreaties because of confidentiality obligations has pursuant to a settlement agreement in the employment case and the confidentiality order in the Maxwell case, as well as his desire to EFTA00020952 avoid doing anything that would undermine your criminal prosecution. Should you need or want a copy of Mr. deposition transcript in the Maxwell case, we would provide it to you pursuant to subpoena. If you wish to discuss these matters, please do not hesitate to call.
