Summary
An email from July 9, 2019, sent by a Public Affairs officer at the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY), circulating a CNBC article. The article details Attorney General Bill Barr's decision not to recuse himself from the 2019 federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, distinguishing this from his recusal regarding the internal review of the earlier non-prosecution deal overseen by Alex Acosta, due to Barr's past employment with Kirkland & Ellis.
