Summary
An email chain concluding with a formal letter from Jay Lefkowitz (Epstein's attorney) to Alex [Acosta] (US Attorney). Lefkowitz argues against federal prosecution, claiming 'Main Justice' is not directing it and that it would be a 'novel application' of statutes. He cites witness testimony alleging women lied about their ages to Epstein and that the FBI pressured women to identify as victims. He requests a meeting to resolve the matter before a July 8 state court deadline.
