Summary
This document contains an email chain from November 27, 2007, between the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of Florida) and Jay Lefkowitz, a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, with Alex Acosta CC'd. The emails discuss the selection of Aaron Podhurst and Bob Josephsberg (likely as mediators or special masters) and the government's statutory obligation under the Justice for All Act of 2004 to notify victims of the agreement with Epstein. The AUSA insists that vetting conclude immediately so that victims can be notified by November 29, 2007.

Jay,
Please accept my apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I was a little under the weather yesterday. I hope that
you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.
you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.
Regarding the issue of due diligence concerning Judge Davis' selection, I'd like to make a few observations. First, Guy Lewis
has known for some time that Judge Davis was making reasonable efforts to secure Aaron Podhurst and Bob Josephsberg
for this assignment. In fact, when I told you of Judge Davis's selection during our meeting last Wednesday, November 21st,
you and Professor Dershowitz seemed very comfortable, and certainly not surprised, with the selection. Podhurst and
Josephsberg are no strangers to nearly the entire Epstein defense team including Guy Lewis, Lili Ann Sanchez, Roy Black,
and, apparently, Professor Dershowitz who said he knew Mr. Josephsberg from law school. Second, Podhurst and
Josephsberg have long-standing stellar reputations for their legal acumen and ethics. It's hard for me to imagine how
much more vetting needs to be done.
