This document is page 4 of a legal filing (Document 393) dated October 29, 2021, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. It is a motion filed by the defense to preclude law enforcement witnesses from providing expert opinion testimony, arguing that the government should be limited to its two disclosed experts, Dr. Lisa Rocchio and Steven Flately. The motion cites case law (United States v. Mejia) to argue against 'skilled witnesses' who act as both fact and expert witnesses.

The second article reports on the suspension of prominent physicist Lawrence M. Krauss by Arizona State University following sexual misconduct allegations published by BuzzFeed. Krauss, who directed the Origins Project (an initiative known to have been funded by Jeffrey Epstein, though Epstein is not explicitly named in this specific text), issued a rebuttal denying the claims.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031448.jpg

This document is a page from a legal filing detailing extreme delays in the FBI's processing of Jeffrey Epstein's FOIA requests. The author recounts an August 2015 call with Mr. Argall, who indicated that at the current pace of 500 pages every 5.5 months, the remaining 11,000 pages would take ten years to produce. The document argues these delays violate FOIA statutes and Obama-era transparency policies, citing relevant case law (*Clemente v. FBI*) to highlight the unreasonableness of the FBI's timeline.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017633.jpg

This document is a page from a legal article (Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology) arguing that the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) applies to the pre-charging phase of criminal investigations. It criticizes the Department of Justice's restrictive interpretation of the law and cites various state statutes (Illinois, Iowa, Michigan) as evidence of a legal trend toward early victim notification. The document bears the name of attorney David Schoen and a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp, suggesting it was used as evidence or legal argument in a congressional investigation, likely regarding the handling of the Epstein case and the failure to notify victims.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017627.jpg

This document is a page from a legal article (likely the Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology) submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. It analyzes the timeline of the Epstein investigation between 2006 and 2007, detailing how the Palm Beach Police referred the case to the FBI, who then referred it to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. The text argues that under proper application of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), victims should have been notified and allowed to confer with prosecutors regarding the nonprosecution agreement eventually reached with Epstein.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017621.jpg

This document is a page from a legal article (Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology) stamped by the House Oversight Committee and bearing David Schoen's name. It analyzes the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), specifically arguing against the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) narrow interpretation that victim rights only attach after charges are filed. It contends that victims should have rights during plea negotiations and pre-charging stages, citing Department of Justice guidelines and the statutory purpose.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017606.jpg

This document is a page from a legal analysis or journal article (Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology) included in a House Oversight production, likely submitted by attorney David Schoen. It argues for the application of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) during the investigation phase, before formal charges are filed, critiquing the DOJ/OLC position to the contrary. The text specifically cites the "Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case" as a primary example of why victim participation is necessary before charges are filed.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012132.jpg

This document is page 3 of a legal letter from Kirkland & Ellis LLP to John Roth, dated June 19, 2008, arguing that a new New York-based Grand Jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein violates his September 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The letter contends that the NPA protects associates like Leslie Groff and [Redacted], and asserts that the new investigation is a 'fishing expedition' lacking federal jurisdiction (internet luring, travel, etc.). The defense claims that statements from three principal accusers (names redacted) actually undermine the prosecution's case and deny essential elements required for federal charges.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012131.jpg

This document is page 2 of a legal letter from Kirkland & Ellis LLP to John Roth, dated June 19, 2008. The firm argues that a previous review of the Epstein case by the DOJ/CEOS was insufficient and requests a true 'de novo' review, citing recent Supreme Court decisions (*Santos* and *Cuellar*) that weaken the federal case. The letter complains that AUSA Villafana has violated the Non-Prosecution Agreement by re-initiating a grand jury investigation and subpoenaing a [redacted] individual to provide testimony and documents (photos, emails, phone records) on July 1, 2008.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013409.jpg

This document is a printed webpage from the Palm Beach Daily News dated April 7, 2011, reporting on a motion filed by attorneys representing victims (Doe 1 and 2) to invalidate Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement. The motion argues the agreement is illegal because the government failed to notify victims as required by the Crime Victim Rights Act, allegedly to protect Epstein due to his political connections. The article includes comments from U.S. Attorney's Office spokesperson Alicia Valle denying CVRA violations because no federal charges were filed.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025359.jpg

This document is page 7 of a letter to Mark Filip dated May 19, 2008, detailing allegations of prosecutorial misconduct in the Jeffrey Epstein case. It describes Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein leaking confidential plea negotiation details and prosecution theories to New York Times reporter Landon Thomas, while First Assistant Sloman denied the specificity of these leaks. The text criticizes the USAO for potential political and financial motivations and mentions a review by CEOS regarding U.S. Attorney Acosta's discretion in the prosecution.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025355.jpg

This document is page 3 of a letter from Jeffrey Epstein's defense team to Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008. The text argues that the case against Epstein is a local solicitation of prostitution matter that should be handled by the State Attorney in Palm Beach, rather than federal prosecutors (USAO). The defense claims federal involvement is politically motivated by Epstein's connection to Bill Clinton and accuses federal prosecutors of leaking information to the New York Times and interfering with state plea negotiations.

This document, stamped by the House Oversight Committee, contains the text of a Daily Beast investigative report detailing ongoing federal scrutiny of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Jean Luc Brunel. It highlights the FBI's investigation into potential sex trafficking, Brunel's role in sourcing girls via the MC2 agency, and the $1 million payment from Epstein to Brunel. The text also criticizes the leniency of Epstein's 2007 plea deal, noting irregular privileges such as the use of a private psychologist for evaluation.
