Summary
This document is an email chain from August 2016 originating from Michael Keough at Steptoe & Johnson LLP. The email circulates media articles (USA Today, Al Arabiya) regarding the extradition of Fethullah Gulen and comments made by attorney Reid Weingarten defending Gulen against accusations from Turkish President Erdogan. While Reid Weingarten famously represented Jeffrey Epstein, this specific document pertains to his representation of Gulen regarding the Turkish coup attempt.
