Lourie replied to the manager, copying Villafaña, reporting that he had spoken with Lefkowitz and agreed to a deal involving two federal obstruction charges with a nonbinding recommendation for 18 months, followed by a plea to state offenses and one year of house arrest.
This legal document details a critical point in plea negotiations for Mr. Epstein. After prosecutor Lourie believed he had reached an agreement with defense counsel Jay Lefkowitz, Lefkowitz submitted a revised proposal with substantially different terms, including a shorter sentence and protections for Epstein's assistants. This new proposal caused frustration among the prosecutors and was ultimately rejected by the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO).
