This July 16, 2019 letter from the DOJ to Judge Berman provides supplemental information for Jeffrey Epstein's detention hearing.

The letter also reveals the seizure of a foreign passport with Epstein's photo but a false name, as well as over $70,000 in cash and 48 loose diamonds found in his Manhattan safe, arguing these facts support a serious risk of flight.
