Summary

This document is an internal email chain within the U.S. Attorney's Office dated September 19, 2008. Michele Dargan, a reporter for the Palm Beach Daily News, contacted the office asking why they decided not to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein federally despite the plea agreement terms. The internal response reveals that the Assistant U.S. Attorney on the case refused to speak to the reporter, and the press officer ultimately gave a 'no comment' response.

Subject: Working on a story on deadline re: Jeffrey Epstein
[Redacted]
I'm working on a story about the federal non-prosecution agreement that is part and parcel of the state plea agreement with Jeffrey Epstein.
I'd like to know why the U.S. Attorney's Office decided not to prosecute Epstein - because I do know, according to court records, that if he violates any portion of his state agreement that he can be federally prosecuted.
I wanted to know if I could speak with AUSA [Redacted] for an answer to this question, since she was the AUSA on the case.
I am on deadline for today.
Thank you,
Michele
