Summary
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of Florida), signed on behalf of Alexander Acosta, to Jeffrey Epstein's attorney Jay Lefkowitz. The letter aggressively rebuts Lefkowitz's allegations of misconduct, specifically denying a conflict of interest regarding the potential appointment of Bert Ocariz and defending the office's handling of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and victim notifications. The author expresses surprise at the attacks given previous cooperation and asserts that the office made significant concessions to Epstein during negotiations.
