DOJ-OGR-00021335.jpg

This document is page 135 (SA-161) of a legal report or filing (likely a DOJ OGR review) analyzing the conduct of U.S. Attorney Acosta in the Jeffrey Epstein case. It argues that Acosta's decision to decline federal prosecution and enter into a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) fell within the broad discretion granted to U.S. Attorneys and did not constitute professional misconduct, citing the U.S. Attorneys' Manual (USAM) and Supreme Court precedents.

DOJ-OGR-00021310.jpg

This document details events in late June 2008 concerning Jeffrey Epstein's case, where federal authorities concluded their review and declined to intervene further. Subsequently, federal prosecutor Villafaña discovered the proposed state plea agreement's sentencing terms appeared to violate the federal Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) by not requiring Epstein to be confined in the county jail, leading her to suspect foul play.

DOJ-OGR-00021308.jpg

This legal document details communications from May 2008 regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case, where his defense team, including Starr and Whitley, petitioned the Deputy Attorney General for a review. They argued the federal prosecution was unwarranted, irregular, and politically motivated due to Epstein's "close personal association" with former President Bill Clinton. In response, a Senior Associate Deputy Attorney General instructed the U.S. Attorney's Office to postpone a June 2, 2008 plea deadline pending the completion of this high-level review.

Epstein's lawyers, including Starr and Lefkowitz, raised complaints and sought meetings, while a DOJ section (CEOS), via a letter from official Oosterbaan, concluded that a federal prosecution of Epstein would not be improper, though its review was limited. The defense team continued to press its case, with Lefkowitz requesting a direct meeting with U.S. Attorney Acosta.

DOJ-OGR-00021302.jpg

This legal document details how prosecutor Acosta, responding to the defense's desire for a 'fresh face', engaged the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) to review the evidence in the Epstein case. CEOS attorney Villafaña traveled to Florida, interviewed victims, and reported back to Acosta and Sloman on the victims' severe trauma and their desire for significant jail time for Epstein rather than restitution. The document also notes the CEOS Trial Attorney's assessment to OPR that the victim witnesses presented numerous challenges for a potential prosecution.

Legal document

DOJ-OGR-00021294.jpg

This legal document details the delays in Jeffrey Epstein's guilty plea in late 2007, caused by a new strategy from his legal team to appeal to senior Department of Justice officials to invalidate the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It chronicles communications between the USAO, the State Attorney's Office, and Epstein's attorneys, including Kenneth Starr and Jack Goldberger, regarding scheduling conflicts and Epstein's compliance with the agreement. Ultimately, these efforts delayed the plea hearing by months, with a final date set for January 4, 2008.

DOJ-OGR-00021290.jpg

This document describes the conflicting accounts surrounding a breakfast meeting between prosecutor Acosta and Epstein's attorney, Lefkowitz. A letter from Lefkowitz claims Acosta promised the USAO would not interfere with Epstein's state-level plea deal, a claim Acosta's office refuted in an unsent draft letter calling it "inaccurate." The text also details Acosta's later, differing recollections of the meeting and contrasts them with media reports that a secret deal was struck at that time.

The document contains excerpts from emails where the defense calls the registration a 'life sentence' and pleads for reconsideration.

DOJ-OGR-00021260.jpg

This legal document details communications among prosecutors Acosta, Villafaña, and Lourie in August 2007 regarding the Epstein investigation. The prosecutors debated strategy concerning defense counsel's efforts to delay litigation and prevent the government from obtaining computer evidence. Ultimately, Acosta decided to meet with the defense, postponing investigative steps and deadlines, believing it was better to keep the matter within the USAO rather than letting it escalate to the main Department of Justice.

DOJ-OGR-00021244.jpg

This document is an internal communication, likely an email from a prosecutor to a supervisor, included in a larger legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The author defends themselves against accusations of jumping the chain of command and expresses severe frustration with 'Alex' (likely a U.S. Attorney) for failing to provide direction on the Epstein indictment for over two months. The author explicitly states they fear the Office is being intimidated by 'high-powered lawyers' and describes a 'glass ceiling' preventing prosecution despite evidence of Epstein's ongoing crimes and the identification of new victims by the FBI.
