Civil Cases Involving Jeffrey Epstein
Hi all — I just received Bert's voicemail message. 1 do not know all of the case numbers of cases involving
Jeffrey Epstein. If you go to the District Court's PACER site, and search for the party name of Jeffrey Epstein,
they will all come up. The press also has reported that some cases were recently filed in Palm Beach County
state court. You can do a similar search on the Clerk of Court's website to find all of the state court cases.
Thank you.

Dear Roy and Jay:

I am attaching the United States' Response to the Petitioners' Motion to Unseal the Non-Prosecution
Agreement, which was filed in the victims' rights suit filed against the United States by Attorney Brad Edwards
on behalf of two of the victims. In his motion to unseal, Attorney Edwards stated that he would provide notice
of his motion to counsel for Mr. Epstein. I do not know if he actually did so.
In our response, we oppose the Petitioners' motion, and point out that Mr. Edwards has filed a civil suit against
Mr. Epstein and that litigation regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement is more appropriate in that forum
where the real party in interest (Mr. Epstein) is a party to the suit.

I hope that the two weeks you will be out of the district is for a well-deserved
vacation. I have been so busy lately that I am also looking forward to taking
some time off closer to the end of the year.
I am planning to be out of the office the weeks of Dec. 18 and Dec. 25 to spend
much quality time with my son who is now 8 years old and growing up too fast.
Since it looks like we will miss each other before the New Year, I will be in
touch at that time and hopefully we will be able to meet shortly thereafter. In
the interim, I will check on the document requests you made and get back to you.

have your letter. I think we are on the same page, but to be sure No want to clarify that we spoke the other week and
I did say that if you want to meet with me again, I am ready to do so. The wording of your letter, however, suggests
implicitly that I agreed to contact you before a decision is made to seek an indictment of Mr. Epstein. If that was your
understanding, then please allow me to clarify. Our investigation is ongoing and if we decide to seek an indictment, we
don't intend to call Mr. Epstein's representatives to let him know that. Of course, in the interim, if you would like to
make a presentation to us, we are willing to listen.
Along those lines, given the fact that we have already met once, with schedules being what they are, it makes sense for
our criminal chief, Matt Menchel, to be included when you make another presentation, rather than working up the
chain incrementally. I realize you were being respectful in not attempting to leapfrog over me, which I appreciate. I
will pass on your request to meet with the U.S. Attorney as well, but can't commit for him one way or another. When
you have some dates in mind, let me know and I will try to set up a meeting in Miami.

Andy, attached is a letter seeking meetings, as discussed with you, but with others if it is not resolved. Thanks for your

Hi Lilly — Please let Gerry know that I took his comments to heart and I am re-reviewing all of the tapes. I noticed that he had
transcripts of at least some of the tapes. Any chance you would be willing to share those with me? It would make the review oh so
much quicker.
And, could you send me the list of the lawyers who represent current or former employees? Before you ask, Rule 6(e) requires that I
keep mattcrs before the grand jury secret, so I cannot tell you who or what I am subpoenaing. If the subpoenaed party (or his/her

Hi Jim -- I just received your letter. It, of course, contains a number of topics, but I will address only the first. I have
conferred with our victim-witness coordinator, who tells me that we can reimburse Ms. Miller for childcare expenses. I
need an estimate to prepare the request and then, after the testimony, if Ms. Miller provides me with the amount of money
that she actually paid, we can reimburse that amount.
As for the remainder of the letter, I am a big believer in actions speaking louder than words, so the only way to prove that I
am exercising independent judgment is to do so. I intend to do a thorough independent investigation so that I can make a
reasoned decision about the matter. I cannot do that if witnesses who are not targets refuse to speak to me, even with
assurances that their statements will not be used against them.
As soon as I know the grand jury's schedule, I will call you with the time.
Thank you.

Dear Lilly and Gerry: Thank you for your e-mail and your message. This e-mail
was supposed to have gone out yesterday while I was in trial. I have no
objection to the two-week extension with respect to NES, New York Strategy Group,
and Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation.
With respect to the subpoena to the investigator, I would like to get the
computer equipment as soon as possible. If you prefer to simply turn over the
equipment without anyone appearing before the grand jury that is fine. If we
proceed that way, we can defer litigating the issue of the applicability of the
attorney-client and/or work product privilege to information related to how and

As i stated in my earlier voicemail today, we were calling to request a two-week
extension on the return date of the following outstanding subpoenas:
1. NES
2. NY Strategy
3. Investigator Riley
4. Certification for St. Thomas entity
We will be providing an additional submission to the Office by July 11 and hope
to be able to reach a state-based resolution shortly thereafter.
as your voicemail to me indicted, you would not oppose a one to two-week
extension. accordingly, we would like to extend the return date two weeks-- to
July 24.

Extension of Time re Computer Subpoena
Hi Lilly and Gerry — I hope you are enjoying your time off. Your request to extend the time to respond to the
Riley and Riley-Kiraly subpoenas is fine. I will schedule time with the grand jury on July 17th, so if you intend
to move to quash the subpoenas, please file your papers not later than July 16
FYI--United States District Judge Middlebrooks is assigned to handle matters related to the relevant
grand jury. As I am sure you know, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(eX6), any such motion must be
filed under seal.
Thank you.

RE: Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Lilly and Gerry: Thank you for your e-mail and your message. This e-mail
was supposed to have gone out yesterday while I was in trial. I have no
objection to the two-week extension with respect to NES, New York Strategy Group,
and Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation.
With respect to the subpoena to the investigator, I would like to get the
computer equipment as soon as possible. If you prefer to simply turn over the
equipment without anyone appearing before the grand jury that is fine. If we
proceed that way, we can defer litigating the issue of the applicability of the
attorney-client and/or work product privilege to information related to how and
why the equipment was removed. I will be in trial this week, so please contact
Jason Richards at the FBI directly at 561 833-7517.
I look forward to your July 11th submission. If you would like to discuss the
possibility of a federal resolution of Mr. Epstein's case that could run
concurrently with any state resolution, please leave a message on my voicemail at
the offices
and I will get back to you after trial has ended for

Marie, when we spoke last Thursday I agreed to accept service of a subpoena (without promising I would represent
Financial Trust depending on what was being requested) that I think you said you would fax. This is just to let you know
that I never received any fax to that end --just in case it was sent somewhere else in error.

I have your letter. I think we are on the same page, but to be sure I do want to clarify that we spoke the other week and
I did say that if you want to meet with me again, I am ready to do so. The wording of your letter, however, suggests
implicitly that I agreed to contact you before a decision is made to seek an indictment of Mr. Epstein. If that was your
understanding, then please allow me to clarify. Our investigation is ongoing and if we decide to seek an indictment, we
don't intend to call Mr. Epstein's representatives to let him know that. Of course, in the interim, if you would like to
make a presentation to us, we are willing to listen.
Along those lines, given the fact that we have already met once, with schedules being what they are, it makes sense for
our criminal chief, Matt Menchel, to be included when you make another presentation, rather than working up the
chain incrementally. I realize you were being respectful in not attempting to leapfrog over me, which I appreciate. I
will pass on your request to meet with the U.S. Attorney as well, but can't commit for him one way or another. When
you have some dates in mind, let me know and I will try to set up a meeting in Miami.

Dear Lilly,
Following up on our conversation yesterday, given that Roy Black will be on vacation through Labor Day, we are
agreeable to jointly requesting that Judge Marra set the hearing regarding the subpoena during the week of September
11. You may make this representation to the Court on our behalf.
With respect to the September 4 return date for
the agents who served the subpoena were left with the
impression, based upon her statements, that she already had an attorney. If this is the case, that attorney should
contact
o discuss any issues he/she has with the return date. If M
does not have an attorney and you
intend to procure her one, then please let Marie know. If you are unable to find one quickly and need an extra week,
Marie has informed me that she is agreeable to extending the subpoena return date to September 111h as well.
However, if she is not already represented, please attempt to procure the attorney as soon as possible so that he or she
has time to get up to speed in advance of the 11th. We would like to avoid the need for further extensions.
We will wait to hear from you regarding
but otherwise the above should resolve all the issues raised by
telephone yesterday.

Andy

I received a call, I believe from Mr. Mennelstein, asking why I had sent a letter to a represented party. The

RE Epstein
I did not know you needed that from me first. The last email I received from Mr. Lee indicated that you do not need the
acknowledgement from us prior to disclosure of the agreement, or at least that is how I understood it. So I have just
been waiting to receive it. We must have gotten our wires crossed. Either way, no big deal. I have signed it, and I just
sent an email to my secretary to fax it to you first thing tomorrow. If you get an opportunity to call me tomorrow
afternoon, I would appreciate it. Thanks

RE Draft Protective Order - slight tweak
It looks ok. Go ahead and submit it. While we would disagree with your statement that our proposed order goes well
beyond what is at issue, since it actually covers very thoroughly the ruling by Judge Marra yesterday, at this point we feel
that time is of the essence and we will agree with you submitting your proposed order as is. I think we all heard Judge
Marra and are thus all clear as to the terms of the protective order and what is required.
I would prefer that there is some language that the protective order is entered without prejudice to petitioners (seems like
it would go in paragraph b), but if you are unable to incorporate it in your order, then I am sure there is a record from
yesterday that could be used to help us get relief from the protective order at a later hearing. Anyway, thanks for
preparing the order. We will look out for the "agreement". Thanks
From:
Cc:
Judge Cassell and Brad,
I have incorporated the change suggested by Judge Cassell to paragraph (c). I also added language in paragraph (e),
referring to other victims, which also provides for petitioners' counsel to promptly provide a copy of the
acknowledgment to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The government has no doubts that counsel for petitioners will ensure
the authorized recipients are aware of the protective order and agree to abide by it, prior to disclosure. We do not
require the acknowledgment in writing prior to the non-prosecution agreement being disclosed to an authorized
recipient.
We believe the petitioners' proposed protective order goes well beyond what is at issue, the government's disclosure of
the non-prosecution agreement, conditioned on limited dissemination of the document upon receipt by petitioners.
Consequently, we believe the attached proposed order, incorporating your revisions, is appropriate for the task at
hand. Thanks.

Second, on the language -- As Brad mentioned, we need to see this document quite quickly in view of
the Government's representations yesterday that Epstein is trying to ignore the agreement. As a result -
- and in view of the difficulty of making immediate contact with our clients -- I propose one change.
Instead of this:
Prior to producing the documents to Petitioners' counsel, a copy of this Order must be provided to
counsel and their clients, who must review and acknowledge their receipt of and agreement to abide by
the terms of this Order, and who must provide a copy of that acknowledgment to the USAO.
How about this:
Before counsel for Petitioner's show the agreement to their clients or discuss the specific terms with
them, they must provide a copy of this Order to Petitioners, who must review and acknowledge their
receipt of and agreement to abide by the terms of this Order. Counsel for Petitioner's must promptly
provide a copy of that acknowledgment to the USAO.
I assume that the USAO is not concerned about us as attorneys somehow ignoring the Court's
protective order, so this change would focus in on the non-law trained clients.

Your inquiry regarding the Epstein case
Hi Barry — The Non-Prosecution Agreement contains a confidentiality provision that requires us to inform Mr.
Epstein's counsel before making any disclosure — even a compulsory disclosure. I am cc'ing you on a letter to
Jay Leflcowitz, Roy Black, and Jack Goldberger informing them of the request and asking them, as parties to the
criminal case, to contact you regarding a possible suit by the Shiny Sheet.
On another note, I also will be informing them that I believe that they still have not filed the complete
agreement with the Court, as required by the Judge at the hearing.
Thank you very much for reaching out to us when you received this request, and if you need any help from us,
please let us know.

For your records.
Dear Alex:
I am writing to you because I have just received the attached letter from Drew
Oosterbaan. In light of that letter, and given the critical new evidence
discussed below, I would like to request a meeting with you, mindful of our July
1026
EFTA00227155
8 deadline, at your earliest opportunity. Given your personal involvement in
this matter to date, and the fact that at this juncture it is clear that CEOS has
referred the matter back to you, I respectfully request that you not shunt me off
to one of your staff. You and I have both spent a great deal of time on this
matter, and I know that we both would like to resolve this matter in a way that
bestows integrity both on the Department and the process.
In our prior discussions, you expressed that you were "not unsympathetic" to our
various federalism concerns, but stated that because you serve within the
"unitary Executive," you believed your hands were tied by Main Justice. You were
also extremely gracious in stating that you did not want the United States to be
"unfair". Although CEOS limited its assessment to the federal statutes your
Office had brought forth and to the application of those laws to the facts as
presented, it is abundantly clear from Drew's letter that Main Justice is not
directing this prosecution. In fact, CEOS plainly acknowledged that a federal
prosecution of Mr. Epstein would involve a "novel application" of federal
statutes and that our arguments against federal involvement are "compelling."
Moreover, the language used by Drew in his concluding paragraph, that he cannot
conclude that a prosecution by you in this case "would be an abuse of discretion"
is hardly an endorsement that you move forward.
Moreover, as you know, Drew made clear that the scope of his review did not
extend to the other significant issues we have raised with you, such as the undo
interest by some members of your staff with the financial and civil aspects of
this matter, or with the inappropriate discussion one member of your Office had
with alSenior reporter at the New York Times. (In fact, I have met with that
reporter and have reviewed copious notes of his conversation with Mr. Weinstein).
At this stage, we have no alternative but to raise our serious concerns regarding
the issues Drew refused to address with the Deputy or, if necessary, the Attorney
General, because we believe those issues have significantly impacted the
investigation and any recommendation by your staff to proceed with an indictment.
That being said, it would obviously be much more constructive and efficient if we
could resolve this matter directly with you in the advance of further proceedings
in Washington.
Because it is clear that national policy, as determined by Main Justice, is not
driving this case, the resolution of this matter is squarely, and solely, your
responsibility. I know you want to do the right thing, and it is because you
have made clear to me on several occasions that you will always look at all of
the relevant and material facts that I call the following to your attention. New
information that has come to light strongly suggests that the facts of this case
cannot possibly implicate a federal prosecutorial priority. Due to established
state procedures and following the initiation of multiple civil lawsuits, Mr.
Epstein's counsel was able to take limited discovery of certain women in this
matter. The sworn statements provided by these women all confirm that federal
prosecution is not appropriate in this case.
The consistent repr
'
witnesses such as
and
and the civil complainants and their
attorneys, confirm t e o owing key points: First, there was no telephonic
1027
EFTA00227156
communication that met the requirements of § 2422(b). For example, as many other
witnesses have stated, Ms. Beale testified in no unclear terms that there was
never any discussion over the phone about her coming over to Mr. Epstein's home
to engage in sexual activity• "The only thing that ever occurred on any of these
phone calls [with
r another assistant] was, 'Are you willing to
come over,' or, 'Wou
you I' e to come over and give a massage.'" Beale Tr. A
at 15. Second, the underage women who visited Mr. Epstein have testified that
they lied about their age in order to gain admittance into his home and women who
brought their underage friends to Mr. Epstein counseled them to lie about their
ages as well. Ms.
stated the following: "I would tell my girlfriends just
like
approached me. Make sure you tell him you're 18. Well, these girls
that I brought, I know that they were 18 or 19 or 20. And the girls that I
didn't know and I don't know if they were lying or not, I would say make sure
that you tell him you're 18."
Tr. at 22. Third, there was no routine or
habit suggesting an intent to transform a massage into an illegal sexual act.
For instance, Ms.
stated that Mr. Epstein "never touched [her] physically"
and that all she did was "massage[ ] his back, his chest and his thighs and that
was it." Laduke Tr. at 12-13. Finally, as you are well aware, there was no
force, coercion, fraud, violence, drugs, or even alcohol present in connection
with Mr. Epstein's encounters with these women.
The civil suits confirm that the plaintiffs did not discuss engaging in sexually-
related activities with anyone prior to arriving at Mr. Epstein's residence.
This reinforces the fact that no telephonic or Internet persuasion, inducement,
enticement or coercion of any kind occurred. Furthermore, Mr. Herman, the
attorney for most of the civil complainants, was quoted in the Palm Beach Post as
saying that "it doesn't matter" that his clients lied about their ages and told
Mr. Epstein that they were 18 or 19. In short, the new evidence establishing
that the women deliberately lied about their age because they knew Mr. Epstein
did not want anyone under 18 in his house directly undercuts the claim that Mr.
Epstein willfully blinded himself as to their ages. Willful blindness is not a
substitute for evidence of knowledge nor is it a negligence standard. It
requires proof beyond reasonable doubt of deliberate intent and specific action
to hide one's knowledge. There is absolutely no such evidence of that here, so
it is not even a jury issue. Furthermore, willful ignorance cannot constitute
the required mens rea for a crime of conspiracy or aiding and abetting.
Through the recent witness statements, we have also discovered another serious
issue that implicates the integrity of the federal investigation. We have
learned that FBI Special Agent
attempted to convince these adult
women, now in their twenties, t
re in fact "victims" even though the
women themselves strongly disagreed with this characterization. This conduct,
once again, goes to the heart of the integrity of the investigation. In a sworn
statement, Ms. Beale was highly critical of the overreaching by federal law
enforcement officers in this case. She testified—in no uncertain terms—that she
does not, and never did, feel like a "victim," despite the fact that the FBI
repeatedly tried to convince her otherwise.
I am mindful of the fact that we have a state court date of July 8 on which
either to enter a plea or to commence trial. As I review the trial options with
1028
EFTA00227157
Mr. Epstein, I certainly want to make sure I do everything within my power to
obviate a need for trial through a reasonable alternative resolution. Although
it is clear that CEOS is not directing a prosecution here, and has stated only
that you have the authority to commence such a prosecution, I am well aware that
the decision whether to proceed, subject to any further process in Washington, is
now within your discretion. I think the new facts should greatly influence your
decision and accordingly, I hope you will agree to meet with me, both to discuss
the new evidence and to discuss a resolution to this matter once and for all. I
am available to meet with you at your earliest convenience subject to our mutual
availability.
Respectfully,
Jay

We just finished our hearing with Judge Marra. He has ordered us to make the Agreement available to the
plaintiffs in this case pursuant to a protective order limiting the disclosure to the victims and their counsel only.
He further has ordered that we have to make the agreement available to any other identified victim and her
attorney, so long as they also agree to be bound by the protective order. Judge Marra stated that the plaintiffs
can litigate the issue of further disclosure directly with Mr. Epstein in the context of their civil suits.
When I receive the Court's order and a signed protective order, I will provide them to you.

RE: Follow-up point
Dear Jay:
The modification contained in the December letter is clear and simple, that is why we were not surprised by Mr.
Epstein's and his attorneys' actions affirming acceptance of the modification. Mr. Epstein's acceptance of the
modification by pleading guilty was equally clear and simple -- it followed written communications from Mr.
Sloman and myself that read: "Mr. Epstein has until the close of business on Monday, June 30, 2008, to comply
with the terms and conditions of the agreement between the United States and Mr. Epstein (as modified by the
U.S. Attorney's December 19'h letter to Ms. Sanchez), including entry of a guilty plea, sentencing, and
surrendering to begin his sentence of imprisonment."
As clearly stated in the December letter, only those "individuals whom [the United States] was prepared to
name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense" are the beneficiaries of the agreement. That is the
list of names that I provided to Messrs. Goldberger and Tein following the change of plea. Under the
September/October agreement, all "individuals whom [the United States] has identified as victims" are the
beneficiaries, so I would prepare a supplement to the earlier list to include identified victims whom we were not
yet prepared to name in an indictment.
Again, as stated in the letter, the modification replaces paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Agreement, including
paragraphs 7A through 7C that are included in the October Addendum. This means that Mr. Epstein's waiver
of "his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein"
will no longer exist, nor will Mr. Epstein's obligation to pay for the victims' counsel. Paragraphs 9 and 10 are
still in effect. This includes the statement that there is no admission of civil or criminal liability, and that,
"[e]xcept as to those individuals who elect to proceed EXCLUSIVELY under 18 USC § 2255, ... Epstein's
signature [cannot] be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability." This addresses your
question regarding exclusivity.
I don't think that Mr. Epstein has to make any constructive admissions of conviction. He only needs to admit
that the 32 girls whose names I have provided to Mr. Goldberger are "victims" of an offense listed in 18 U.S.C.
2255.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Marie - In reviewing your December proposal, there are a couple of things I don't understand.
What limits are placed upon individuals who proceed under 2255 as if "Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted
of an enumerated offense." In other words, what individuals would have this right? And would these individual only
have this right if they proceeded exclusively under 2255? Also, to what enumerated offenses do you think would Mr.
Epstein have to make constructive admissions of conviction? and how many such offenses? And against whom?
Remember that while you may have investigated various offenses, he only plead guilty to certain state crimes.
Finally, would paragraphs 8-10 of the September Agreement still be operative?
I am trying hard to understand what you have intended by the December letter. Alex has says he thinks it benefits Jeffrey,
and I am open to understanding it that way. But I would like some clarity on these issues.
Thanks — Jay

Hi Jay — I forgot to mention that I can no longer argue that the Court shouldn't force us to produce the

Marie: I have conferred with the lawyers on the team. They all thank you for
agreeing to oppose any disclosure of the 9/24/07 agreement. We firmly believe
this document is not discoverable in the civil cases. However if the court rules
against you on this we request that you further ask that any disclosure be
subject to a strong protective order prohibiting dissemination to anyone except
counsel to the petitioners. We are particularly concerned because civil lawyers
are more apt to publicize something like
