Summary
This document is a Preliminary Statement from a legal motion filed by NYP Holdings, Inc. (New York Post) seeking to unseal briefs related to an appeal concerning Jeffrey Epstein's sex offender status in New York. The Post argues that unsealing the documents is necessary to understand why the Manhattan District Attorney's Office initially sought lenient treatment for Epstein, citing suspicions that his wealth and connections to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew influenced prosecutors. The filing follows renewed scrutiny generated by the Miami Herald's 2018 investigative reporting.
