Summary
This document contains a chain of emails from October 16-22, 2007, between Jay Lefkowitz (Kirkland & Ellis) and the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAFLS), specifically involving Alex Acosta and a redacted prosecutor. The correspondence details negotiations regarding a letter to 'Judge Davis' (a proposed special master) concerning the selection of legal representation for Epstein's victims. Key points of contention include whether Judge Davis would represent the victims directly, the criteria for the selected law firm, statutory compensation limits ($150k vs $50k), and the inclusion of language regarding discovery to test the veracity of victims' claims.
