Document Summary
This document is an excerpt from a report (likely OPR) detailing internal communications on September 19, 2007, between prosecutors VillafaƱa, Lourie, and U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta regarding plea negotiations with Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz. While VillafaƱa and Lourie strongly recommended ending negotiations due to what they perceived as the defense's "bad faith" tactics of re-inserting rejected provisions, Acosta instructed them to continue trying to "work it out" rather than indict immediately. The page ends mid-sentence with VillafaƱa expressing concern about "caving" to the defense.
