Legal brief argues federal statutes do not apply to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged conduct

Legal brief argues federal statutes do not apply to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged conduct The passage is a defense memorandum that restates known legal arguments about jurisdiction and statutory interpretation. It does not introduce new factual leads, names, transactions, or evidence linking powerful actors to misconduct. Its relevance is limited to legal strategy rather than investigative insight. Key insights: Claims Epstein's alleged activities are state crimes, not federal.; Cites Supreme Court decisions by Justices Scalia and Thomas on narrow statutory construction.; Argues lack of interstate communications and commerce ties.
