This document is a legal letter dated May 27, 2008, from Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip, supplementing a request for an independent review of the federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The letter argues that the prosecution is an unprecedented extension of federal law against a figure with 'close ties to former President Clinton' and complains that Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman imposed an arbitrary June 2 deadline to force compliance with a Non-Prosecution Agreement, thereby attempting to bypass the requested review. The lawyers also allege misconduct, including leaks to the New York Times and conflicts of interest involving Sloman's former law partner filing civil suits against Epstein.
