Summary

An email chain from August 14, 2019 (four days after Jeffrey Epstein's death) between officials at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The discussion concerns a meeting with 'Geoff' (likely US Attorney Geoffrey Berman) regarding the 'Epstein forfeiture' and strategy for approaching a female subject (likely Ghislaine Maxwell). The emails discuss her new status as the 'principal subject,' the possibility of her claiming 'victimization' via an innocence proffer, and instructions to contact her counsel.

Probably — although her posture is different now that she is the principal subject; she may think the chances of being charged have gone up and want to talk us out of it.

I can’t conceive of her being willing to come in with no protection at all if she wasn’t willing to come in under a proffer agreement.

I ran into Geoff this morning, and he said he’d like to meet this afternoon – I think around 230 or 3, does that work? FYI, he sounds more bullish than I think we were thinking, so there may need to be some expectations managing.
