Allegations of Prosecutorial Misconduct in Federal Jeffrey Epstein Case
Summary
Allegations of Prosecutorial Misconduct in Federal Jeffrey Epstein Case The passage alleges that senior U.S. Attorney Office staff (AUSA Weinstein, FAUSA Sloman, U.S. Attorney Acosta) disclosed case‑specific information and possibly offered financial inducements to witnesses in the Epstein prosecution, suggesting improper motives and potential violations of Department policy. These claims point to concrete individuals, internal communications, and specific actions that merit further investigation, though the document provides limited direct evidence and no new financial transaction details. Key insights: AUSA Weinstein allegedly disclosed plea‑negotiation details and warned a defense‑contact about media coverage.; FAUSA Sloman reportedly sent non‑case‑specific information to defense, contradicting internal policy.; Defense counsel complained to the USAO about leaks to the New York Times.

KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP
KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP SUMMARY OF MISCONDUCT ISSUES IN THE MATTER OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN The manner in which federal prosecutors have pursued the allegations against Mr. Epstein is highly irregular and warrants full review by the Department. While we repeatedly have raised our concerns regarding misconduct with the United States Attorney's Office in Miami (the "USAO"), not only has it has remained unwilling to address these issues, but Mr. Epstein's defense counsel has been instructed to limit its contact to the very prosecutors who are the subject of this misconduct complaint. For your review, this document summarizes the USAO's conduct in this case. Background 1. In March 2005, the Palm Beach Police Department opened a criminal investigation of Palm Beach resident, Jeffrey E. Epstein. The press has widely reported that Mr. Epstein is a close friend of former President Bill Clinton. 2. In July 2006, after an intensive probe, including interviews of dozens of witnesses, re
