DOJ-OGR-00000438.jpg

This document is page 8 of a legal filing addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman on July 16, 2019. The text argues for Epstein's release on bail, stating that despite intense media scrutiny (specifically mentioning The Miami Herald) and public outcry following November 2018 reports about his previous plea deal, Epstein traveled extensively but always returned to the United States, proving he is not a flight risk.

DOJ-OGR-00000437.jpg

This legal document, dated July 16, 2019, is a filing addressed to Hon. Richard M. Berman. It argues two points on behalf of Epstein: first, that certain individuals were not cooperating witnesses but rather long-time friends and employees who invoked the Fifth Amendment in prior civil proceedings, and second, that an expired Austrian passport acquired by Epstein in the 1980s was for personal protection during travel and there is no evidence it was ever used.

DOJ-OGR-00000436.jpg

This document is page 6 of a legal filing dated July 16, 2019, addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman. The author refutes the judge's suggestion that sex offender recidivism rates increase after 15 years, citing two studies that conclude the opposite. The document also mentions a New Mexico detective, Deborah Anaya, and speculation by a third-party counsel, Mr. Boies, regarding alleged payments in late 2018.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000435.jpg

This legal document, filed on July 16, 2019, argues for specific release conditions for a defendant named Epstein. It highlights that Epstein's brother, Mark, is prepared to co-sign a release bond with his net worth exceeding $100 million to ensure Epstein's appearance in court. The document also clarifies that in August 2010, the New Mexico Public Safety Department advised Epstein he was not required to register there based on his 2008 Florida conviction.

DOJ-OGR-00000434.jpg

This legal document, dated July 16, 2019, is a filing on behalf of Mr. Epstein addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman. The filing argues that Epstein's finances are too complex to meet the court's 5pm deadline for a financial statement, citing his detention as an impediment. It proposes that the court accept the initial disclosure and, as a condition for granting bail, order a comprehensive forensic accounting of his finances to be conducted by Joel Podgor of the firm Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP.

Legal document

DOJ-OGR-00000433.jpg

This document is page 3 of a legal filing addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman, dated July 16, 2019. The author argues that denying bail to a defendant based on their wealth is unconstitutional, violating the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments by thwarting the presumption of innocence and due process. The document cites several federal court cases as precedent to support the claim that suitable conditions for release can be found even in presumption cases.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000432.jpg

This legal document, part of a filing to Judge Richard M. Berman, argues against the government's position that Jeffrey Epstein's wealth creates an 'irrebuttable presumption' that he is a flight risk and should be denied release. The filing contends that this amounts to a 'per se rule' that is contrary to law. It cites government arguments from other court records which detail Epstein's financial sophistication, international ties, and ability to transfer assets and earn millions abroad as reasons why no bail conditions could be effective.

Legal document

DOJ-OGR-00000431.jpg

This is a legal letter dated July 16, 2019, from attorney Marc Fernich to Judge Richard M. Berman regarding the case of US v. Epstein. The letter serves to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's request for bail by countering the government's arguments for detention made in court the previous day. Fernich argues that the government's position relies on a remand presumption connected to 18 USC § 1591, which Epstein's defense contends does not apply to the core conduct at issue.

DOJ-OGR-00000352.jpg

This document is the conclusion page (Page 10) of a legal filing by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, dated July 8, 2019, in the case against Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The Government argues that the defendant should be denied bail because he poses an 'extraordinarily real' flight risk due to his vast wealth, private planes, and foreign contacts, and is a danger to the community due to his alleged abuse of dozens of underage girls and history of witness tampering. The document is signed by Assistant US Attorneys Alex Rossmiller, Alison Moe, and Maurene Comey on behalf of US Attorney Geoffrey Berman.

Legal filing (conclusion of government's memorandum for detention/bail denial)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000342.jpg

This document is the final page (14) of a government filing dated July 12, 2019, addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman, arguing against bail for Jeffrey Epstein. The text provides legal precedents establishing that sex trafficking laws (Section 1591) apply to consumers/buyers, not just suppliers, refuting the defense's legal arguments. The conclusion explicitly requests pretrial detention based on Epstein's wealth, flight risk, possession of lewd photos of minors, and history of witness interference.

Legal filing (government letter/memorandum to judge)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000341.jpg

This page from a government filing (July 12, 2019) argues before Judge Berman that a previous plea agreement in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL) does not bind other districts or the broader 'United States' government. It further asserts that the defendant (Epstein) was the 'leader of a sex-trafficking enterprise' rather than a mere consumer, highlighting his role in recruiting, funding, and organizing the scheme across two states.

Legal filing / court document (government memorandum)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000340.jpg

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) made with the defendant (Epstein) in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL) does not prevent his current prosecution in the Southern District of New York. The prosecution asserts that the language of the NPA explicitly limits its scope to the SDFL and does not cover the alleged conduct or victims in New York. The filing cites specific text from the NPA and legal precedent from the Second Circuit to support its position that one U.S. Attorney's office agreement does not bind another.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000339.jpg

This document is a legal filing arguing that Jeffrey Epstein poses a danger of obstructing justice. It cites past incidents of intimidation, including a private investigator driving a victim's parent off the road and threats that those who hurt Epstein 'will be dealt with.' It further highlights suspicious financial activity in late 2018, specifically wire transfers totaling $350,000 to possible co-conspirators immediately following the publication of investigative articles by the Miami Herald.

Legal filing (government memorandum to court)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000338.jpg

This legal document is a portion of a prosecution filing arguing against granting bail to a defendant. The prosecution asserts that the defendant's wealth should not permit him to create a private, guard-monitored home confinement, citing legal precedent. It further argues the defendant poses an ongoing danger to the community, referencing a prior conviction for a sex crime with a minor and the discovery of a large collection of sexually suggestive photographs of underage females at his residence.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000337.jpg

This legal document, page 9 of a court filing, argues against a defendant's proposal to hire private security guards as an alternative to pretrial detention. It cites numerous legal precedents from the Second Circuit and other district courts to assert that such arrangements create a conflict of interest, magnify flight risks, and foster unequal treatment based on wealth, which is contrary to the principles of the Bail Reform Act. The document highlights past cases where wealthy defendants on private security details violated the terms of their release.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000336.jpg

This legal document, filed on July 12, 2019, is a memorandum arguing against a defendant's proposal for bail involving home confinement, electronic monitoring, and a private security force. The prosecution contends that these measures are insufficient to ensure the defendant's appearance in court, citing numerous legal precedents that question the security, fairness, and practicality of such "private jail" arrangements. The document asserts that a private security firm cannot replicate the controlled environment of a federal facility and that allowing wealthy defendants to fund their own detention is legally problematic.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000335.jpg

This document is page 7 of a government filing opposing Jeffrey Epstein's release on bail, dated July 12, 2019. The prosecution argues that the proposed co-signers (Epstein's brother and a friend, Mr. Mitchell) are insufficient because Epstein could easily financially compensate them for any losses incurred if he fled. Additionally, the government asserts that Epstein's offer to sign a waiver of extradition is legally unenforceable and provides no guarantee that he would return to face justice.

Legal filing (government memorandum in opposition to bail/release)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00000333.jpg

This document is page 5 of a Government filing to Judge Richard Berman arguing for the detention of Jeffrey Epstein (the defendant). It highlights his extreme flight risk due to his sophisticated financial network, international residences (Paris, USVI), and recent travel history (over 20 international flights since 2018). The document also notes that since the indictment was unsealed, more victims have come forward and search warrants executed at his Manhattan home yielded a significant volume of nude photographs of young women and girls.
