| 2008-05-19 | N/A | Jay Lefkowitz requests a meeting with Alex [Acosta]. | Unspecified | View |
An email chain concluding with a formal letter from Jay Lefkowitz (Epstein's attorney) to Alex [Acosta] (US Attorney). Lefkowitz argues against federal prosecution, claiming 'Main Justice' is not directing it and that it would be a 'novel application' of statutes. He cites witness testimony alleging women lied about their ages to Epstein and that the FBI pressured women to identify as victims. He requests a meeting to resolve the matter before a July 8 state court deadline.
This legal document details the early stages of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in July and August 2006. It highlights the internal communication dynamics, showing investigator VillafaƱa bypassing her immediate supervisor to report directly to a senior management team in Miami, including Sloman and Acosta. The document also reveals the FBI's distrust of the local State Attorney's Office, fearing leaks to Epstein, and describes the initial evidence-gathering efforts, which included flight manifests and victim interviews.
