Expedited Processing
This request has been the subject of the request is of widespread and exceptional media interest and the information sought involves possible questions about the government's integrity which affects public confidence. Specifically; the issue of whether Mr. Epstein’s wealth and connections secured him favorable treatment by the DOJ.
Given that a civil defamation trial between one of Epstein’s victims and his alleged co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, has just begun, the topic is of renewed interest to the public and therefore is worthy of expedited processing.
