This document is a legal submission by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to the Deputy Attorney General arguing against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein in circa 2008. The defense argues that Epstein's conduct amounts to state-level solicitation of prostitution rather than federal sex trafficking or sex tourism, citing recent Supreme Court decisions to advocate for a narrow interpretation of federal statutes. The text asserts that Epstein did not target minors, did not use interstate commerce to lure victims, and that any underage women lied about their age.
