Why would you enter into plea negotiations without consulting with me? This makes my investigation look like a joke and completely undermines my ability to deal with Epstein's attorneys directly. We left the meeting on June 26th in a stronger position than when we entered, and your statement that a state resolution would satisfy us takes away that advantage. If you make it seem like the U.S. Attorney doesn't have faith in our investigation, Epstein has no incentive to make a deal. My trial should end early next week. I would like to make a presentation to the U.S. Attorney and you and with our side of the investigation. It will address the points raised by Epstein's counsel and should convince you all of the strength of the case. In the meantime, please do not discuss this case with opposing counsel without consulting with me.
