Summary
This document appears to be an excerpt from the book 'Filthy Rich' (likely quoting Alexander Acosta) submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. The text provides a first-person justification of the Epstein plea deal, arguing it was the best outcome given the risks of trial and state laws at the time. The narrator describes receiving a congratulatory call from an FBI Special Agent-In-Charge and peace-making communications from Epstein's high-profile defense team (Black, Dershowitz, Lefkowitz, Starr) whom the narrator knew from previous legal work.
