Internal Justice Department memo flags potential selective federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein

Summary

Internal Justice Department memo flags potential selective federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein The passage reveals an internal review (CEOS) that was requested by an unnamed Mr. Acosta and discusses the Justice Department’s consideration of prosecutorial discretion in the Epstein case. It suggests possible selective enforcement and a conflict of interest involving lawyers, which provides concrete leads (CEOS, USAO Miami, Mr. Acosta) and raises controversy. While the memo does not name high‑level officials directly, it implicates senior DOJ decision‑makers and could prompt further investigation into the motivations behind the federal case. Key insights: CEOS conducted a limited review at the request of Mr. Acosta regarding federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.; The review concluded only that prosecution was not categorically barred, delegating the decision back to Mr. Acosta.; The memo alleges “impermissible selectivity” and “appearance of substantial impropriety” in the DOJ’s handling of the case.
