EFTA00036643.pdf
An email chain from August 2019 between prison staff (Chen and Black) regarding the urgent reconstruction of inmate Jeffrey Epstein's '292 data' (likely monitoring logs) following his death. The correspondence confirms Epstein was found dead in his SHU cell at NYM on the morning of Saturday, August 10, 2019, and notes that he had been moved in and out of the SHU three times between July 7 and August 10. Staff were instructed to prioritize reconstructing records for the week of August 5-9, 2019.
EFTA00018180.pdf
An email from Adrian Edwards-Smith dated July 12, 2019, alleging a systemic cover-up of abuse by domestic agencies serving wealthy clients in NYC. The author claims these agencies and lawyers silence staff regarding crimes ranging from violence to pedophilia, specifically citing Jeffrey Epstein as an example of this broader culture. The email also names Seinfeld, Kalikow, Black, and Soros as individuals who would be exposed if the US Attorney's Office investigated these domestic staffing practices.
EFTA00014143.pdf
This document is an internal email from the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAFLS) dated August 25, 2008. The email circulates a draft letter addressed to defense attorneys Lefkowitz and Black (likely Jay Lefkowitz and Roy Black, who represented Epstein) for review and changes. The attachment is titled '080826 [Redacted] Ltr to Lefkowitz and Black.wpd'.
EFTA00013909.pdf
An internal email from June 2008, likely between officials at the US Attorney's Office (USAFLS), discussing a recent court docket check. The email confirms a scheduled 'status conference' at 8:30 and notes that a 'procurement of minors charge' has been filed. It includes an attachment referencing attorneys Goldberger and Black.
DOJ-OGR-00023156.tif
This document details events surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's compliance with his home detention and supervision terms between 2009 and 2010. It highlights his alleged violations, efforts to transfer his supervision to the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the USAO's opposition to these requests, ultimately concluding with Epstein completing his sentence in Florida on July 21, 2010. The text also addresses the veracity of claims about Epstein's cooperation in the Bear Stearns case, which officials in the Eastern District of New York denied.
DOJ-OGR-00023153.tif
This document details events in November 2008 concerning Jeffrey Epstein's work release, which USAO official Villafaña believed breached his non-prosecution agreement (NPA). Villafaña communicated her concerns to defense attorney Black and other officials, leading to a notice of NPA violation and the recusal of Acosta from the case. The document highlights the ongoing dispute regarding the terms of Epstein's incarceration and the perceived special treatment he received.
DOJ-OGR-00023148.tif
This document details events surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's plea and sentencing from June 2008 to June 2009, including communications between various officials regarding the handling of his case and concerns about the terms of his plea agreement. It highlights discrepancies and objections raised by Villafaña regarding Epstein's proposed custody arrangements, suggesting a potential violation of the agreement's spirit.
DOJ-OGR-00015115.jpg
This document is a letter dated August 5, 2025, addressed to Judges Engelmayer and Berman from an unnamed victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The author expresses frustration with the judicial process, specifically questioning why subpoenas have not been issued for US Virgin Islands officials or Epstein's financial staff (attorney and accountant). The letter explicitly references Leon Black's payments to Epstein and alleges Epstein's accountant removed items from the NY mansion immediately following Epstein's death.
DOJ-OGR-00021356.jpg
This document is a page from a DOJ OPR report detailing a chronology of meetings between the US Attorney's Office (USAO) and Jeffrey Epstein's defense team regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It includes a table listing specific dates between February 2007 and January 2008, participants from both sides (including Acosta, Dershowitz, Starr, and Black), and the purpose of each meeting, such as discussing investigation improprieties, the NPA term sheet, and state plea provisions. The text specifically notes Alex Acosta's limited attendance at pre-NPA meetings and mentions a breakfast meeting between Acosta and defense attorney Jay Lefkowitz.
DOJ-OGR-00021316.jpg
This legal document details concerns from the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO), voiced by an individual named Villafaña, regarding Jeffrey Epstein's work release arrangement in Palm Beach County. Villafaña alleges that Epstein's lawyers schemed to make him eligible and that his application contained significant inaccuracies, such as listing a foundation with his lawyer's phone number as his employer. The document also notes a potential conflict of interest where Epstein paid thousands of dollars per week to off-duty sheriff's deputies for protection, seemingly in violation of work release rules.
DOJ-OGR-00021315.jpg
This document details internal DOJ conflicts in November 2008 regarding Jeffrey Epstein's work release. Prosecutor Villafaña argued Epstein's 12-hour-a-day release to the 'Florida Science Foundation' breached his Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) requiring 24-hour confinement, prompting her to ask superiors if she could indict him. Concurrently, USAO official Alex Acosta recused himself from the case due to employment discussions with Epstein's defense firm, Kirkland & Ellis.
DOJ-OGR-00021314.jpg
This document details the conflict between federal prosecutors (USAO) and local officials regarding Jeffrey Epstein's work release. It reveals that Epstein and his lawyer, Jack Goldberger, misled the court about Epstein's employment at the 'Florida Science Foundation,' a shell entity created in November 2007 using Goldberger's office address, despite Epstein claiming in court it had existed for 15 years. The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office placed Epstein on work release in October 2008 without notifying the USAO, contradicting previous assurances.
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-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-00021254.jpg
This legal document describes a meeting on July 31, 2007, between the USAO and Jeffrey Epstein's defense team to discuss a plea deal. The USAO presented a proposal that included a federal sentencing range of 188 to 235 months, while Epstein's attorneys argued for alternatives like home confinement, citing safety concerns in prison. Prosecutor Villafaña later expressed concerns to the OPR that the defense team could 'manipulate' a state-level sentence and that the USAO would be 'giving up all control.'
DOJ-OGR-00021247.jpg
This document excerpt details the defense's ongoing efforts in July 2007 to halt a federal investigation into Epstein and prevent the government from obtaining computer equipment, including sending letters to the USAO. Concurrently, CEOS endorsed Villafaña's legal analysis and proposed charges, with CEOS Chief Oosterbaan finding the defense's arguments unpersuasive and offering CEOS's assistance for the prosecution. The document also references a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) and the removal of computer equipment from Epstein's home.
DOJ-OGR-00021235.jpg
This legal document details internal discussions and a key meeting related to the federal investigation of Epstein. It describes a June 26, 2007, meeting where Epstein's attorneys, led by Dershowitz, argued for the case to be handled by the state, an argument the USAO team found unpersuasive. Despite internal concerns about the strength of certain aspects of the case, the USAO team left the meeting intending to proceed, but the document concludes by noting that in July 2007, Acosta decided to offer Epstein a two-year state plea deal to resolve the federal investigation.
DOJ-OGR-00003316.jpg
This document details the conflicting communications and actions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's work release following his June 30, 2008 plea. It reveals that while federal prosecutors (USAO) and Epstein's own attorney indicated he would not get work release, a Palm Beach Sheriff's Office official stated he was eligible, and he was ultimately placed in the program without the USAO's knowledge. The document also highlights Epstein's false statements to the court about his employment at the non-existent "Florida Science Foundation."
DOJ-OGR-00003312.jpg
This document details communications from late June 2008 concerning Jeffrey Epstein's plea agreement. It begins with a letter from Roth to Epstein's counsel, Starr and Lefkowitz, confirming that federal prosecution is appropriate, and then shifts to prosecutor Villafaña's efforts to enforce the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). Villafaña expresses strong suspicion that Epstein's attorneys are misrepresenting the terms of his confinement, telling her he would be in a jail 24/7 while planning for him to be at a less restrictive 'stockade', which she reports to a colleague, Sloman, as a violation of their agreement.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023565.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a financial news article or report, likely dating from 2017 or 2018, discussing the tax complexities and potential corporate conversions of private equity firms. It specifically mentions Apollo Global Management, Ares Management, and Hamilton Lane, highlighting the tax implications of Schedule K-1 forms versus Form 1099s for investors. The document references 'Black' (likely Leon Black) speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference about the hesitation of major partnerships to be the first to convert to corporations. It is stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023565', indicating it is part of a larger congressional investigation file.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025603.jpg
An email thread spanning February to May 2019 between Joichi Ito (MIT Media Lab) and 'J' (Jeffrey Epstein). The conversation focuses on Epstein facilitating donations to Ito/MIT from third parties, specifically Andrew Farkas and potentially 'black' (likely Leon Black). Epstein also comments on his negative media coverage during this period, describing himself as a 'symbol for all ills.'
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025594.jpg

Epstein facilitates donations from Andrew Farkas and 'Black' (likely Leon Black) to Ito at MIT. The thread also includes Epstein commenting on his negative public image ('brutal press') and identifying himself as a 'symbol for all ills.'
