Summary
This document is an email chain from July 17, 2019, involving U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman and likely Public Affairs staff regarding a potential public statement on Epstein's bail/detention. Berman initially argues that not making a statement is a 'missed opportunity,' while staff advise against it citing 'misgivings,' 'litigation risk,' and deviation from 'usual practice.' The chain concludes with Berman agreeing that the statement is not necessary.
