Summary
This document is an internal email chain from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) dated August 21, 2019. It discusses a press statement released by former Governor Bill Richardson's lawyer, Jeff Brown, which claimed Richardson was told he was not a target, subject, or witness in the Epstein investigation. An unnamed prosecutor clarifies internally that while they told Brown they lacked sufficient info to categorize Richardson at the time, the press statement claiming 'no allegations' are being investigated is not fully accurate and does not reflect the conversation.
