Summary
This document is a legal rebuttal from Kirkland & Ellis LLP regarding the government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The defense argues that the DOJ's review was not independent, alleges prosecutorial misconduct regarding victim notification and the selection of victim representatives (citing a conflict of interest involving an AUSA's boyfriend), and disputes the government's characterization of the sexual conduct. The document also details the defense's objections to the government's threat to terminate the agreement if Epstein did not comply with unilaterally modified terms by June 2, 2008.
