Acosta told OPR his concern was not about scrutiny of the NPA, but that the Department might direct the USAO to drop the case.
This legal document details communications among prosecutors Acosta, Villafaña, and Lourie in August 2007 regarding the Epstein investigation. The prosecutors debated strategy concerning defense counsel's efforts to delay litigation and prevent the government from obtaining computer evidence.
