From To 'Sloman, Jeff Cc: Subject: Epstein issue with State Attorney's Office Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:16:38 +0000 Importance: Normal It is Tuesday, so there must be a new issue with E stein. This one potentially involves the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office so I included poo on the email chain. Here are the two issues: First, I have heard from several sources that Epstein is trying to convince (or perhaps has already convinced) the SAO to give him "cooperation credit" to shorten the length of his home confinement based upon "cooperation" that he is giving to the Feds in the Bernie Madoff case. As you probably remember, a couple of weeks ago some newspapers reported that Epstein is cooperating with FBI in the Madoff prosecution and that was the real reason for him receiving such a light sentence. After those newspaper reports came out, the AUSA prosecuting the Madoff case called me asking who Epstein was and stating in no uncertain terms that Epstein is not cooperating. Nonetheless, I can imagine our good friends (Goldberger, Lefkowitz, and others) telling the SAO that Epstein actually is coo eratin and that the USA() agrees that he should have his sentence reduced. Now, this could all be rumor, bu and I have heard it from so many different places (Town of Palm Beach PD, plaintiffs' attorneys, etc.), that it seems like someone should reach out to the SAO to make sure that they aren't beingtold an lies. I, of course, am happy to do so, but I didn't know if you felt that the contact should be made by Or I also just pulled the state docket sheet and found another motion to "correct" Epstein's sentence that we were never told about. Docket entry 7 in the procurement of child prostitution case reads: "Agreed Order that the Order of Community Control is Corrected to Delete Special Condition #26 and #27." Something tells me that there was no "correction," this was a "change" that takes out things we considered important. Can you get this from the courthouse and fax it to me? Case number is 502008CF009381AXXXMB. Second, if new allegations or new victims come to light, are we allowed to investigate their claims? If we cannot, or if there is jurisdiction in another district, can we refer to allegations to another USAO to investigate? There are two very specific items that I would like to investigate further that relate to the S.D.FI.. Also, as you recall, we never were able to advance our investigation regarding the New York victims, and none of them were included in our list of identified victims. The prosecutors on the Madoff case have asked if they can use some of our evidence — or at least speak with me and the FBI agents -- to prosecute Epstein regarding conduct in New York. Thank you.

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict The passage provides concrete names (Jeffrey Sloman, Acosta, Lefkowitz, Starr) and dates (2008, 2013) showing possible obstruction of victim notifications in the Epstein case, suggesting a lead for investigating DOJ and FBI decision‑making. While it ties high‑level officials, the claim of pressure from Epstein’s attorneys is not yet corroborated, limiting the score to the high‑mid range. Key insights: Jeffrey Sloman, top aide to U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, planned to notify Epstein victims after a plea deal was signed.; Lefkowitz warned Acosta that the office had promised not to contact victims or potential claimants.; Federal prosecutors resumed the FBI investigation and interviewed witnesses in NY and NM while plea negotiations continued.

Kirkland & Ellis Letter (June 19, 2008) from Kenneth Starr urging DOJ Deputy Attorney General to halt federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein

Kirkland & Ellis Letter (June 19, 2008) from Kenneth Starr urging DOJ Deputy Attorney General to halt federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein The document provides a detailed, contemporaneous account of alleged prosecutorial misconduct, a violated Non‑Prosecution Agreement, and mentions high‑level officials (Deputy Attorney General, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, former President Bill Clinton) that could be pursued for further investigation. It includes specific dates, subpoena details, and names of attorneys, offering concrete leads, but the claims are largely unverified and rely on the law firm’s advocacy, limiting its immediate explosiveness. Key insights: Letter dated June 19, 2008 from Kenneth W. Starr (Kirkland & Ellis) to Deputy Attorney General John Roth.; Claims that the federal grand jury investigation was re‑started in violation of a September 24, 2007 Non‑Prosecution Agreement with Epstein.; Alleges misconduct by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Villafana and Sloman, including alleged self‑dealing and conflict‑of‑interest.
