EFTA00030247.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Richard Berman, arguing strongly for the pretrial detention of Jeffrey Epstein. The government contends that Epstein presents an extreme flight risk due to his vast wealth (estimated at over $500 million), private jet, and international ties (residences in Paris and Virgin Islands), and poses a danger to the community as a 'serial sexual predator' with a history of witness manipulation. The letter rejects Epstein's proposed bail package—which included house arrest with private security—as inadequate, citing his ability to flee and the severity of the charges which carry a potential life sentence.
EFTA00029004.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Henry Pitman arguing for the detention of Jeffrey Epstein pending trial.

The letter outlines the evidence against Epstein, his history, and legal arguments supporting pre-trial detention.

It also highlights his danger to the community and obstruction of justice history, citing recent wire transfers to potential witnesses and the discovery of lewd photographs of minors in his home. The government argues that his proposed bail package, including home confinement and private security, is inadequate.

EFTA00028297.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice to Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman arguing for the permanent detention of Jeffrey Epstein pending trial.

First, the Government asserts that the indictment must be dismissed (abated) because Epstein died before a conviction became final.

EFTA00016596.pdf
A formal response from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Jeffrey Epstein's defense team regarding discovery requests made in July and August 2019. The government rejects defense requests for broad access to files from other districts (FL, GA) and communications with victims as 'outlandishly overbroad' and a 'fishing expedition' to identify victims, while confirming it will comply with standard legal obligations (Rule 16, Brady). The letter asserts the SDNY investigation was independent of the previous Florida Non-Prosecution Agreement.
EFTA00016172.pdf
This document is a letter dated July 17, 2019, from U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman to Judge Richard M. Berman regarding the case United States v. Jeffrey Epstein.

EFTA00015532.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York, to Judge Richard M. Berman regarding the detention of Jeffrey Epstein.

EFTA00015438.pdf
This document is a legal declaration by Russell Capone filed in the SDNY regarding a FOIA lawsuit by the New York Times against the Bureau of Prisons. It argues for withholding records related to Jeffrey Epstein's detention and death to avoid interfering with the pending criminal prosecutions of correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas (for falsifying records) and inmate Nicholas Tartaglione (for multiple murders). Attached as exhibits are the indictments for Noel/Thomas, detailing the night of Epstein's death, and Tartaglione, detailing the 'Likquid Lounge' quadruple homicide.
Regarding an opinion piece and the August 27, 2019 hearing
Judge Berman criticizes an opinion piece written by the recipient, stating it may have been construed as an effort to chill the rights of Ms. Giuffre and Mr. Boies to speak at a hearing.
