DOJ-OGR-00001306.jpg

This is the final page (16) of a court order issued by US District Judge Martha Vazquez on February 6, 2021. The order grants Mr. Robertson's motion for immediate release (Doc 274) to allow him to prepare for an upcoming trial with his defense team, citing the need for preparation time and potential quarantine at 'La Pasada.' The judge simultaneously denies the government's emergency motion to stay the release order.

This is page 7 of a court filing (Document 37-1) from Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB (United States v. Jeffrey Epstein), filed on July 25, 2019. It outlines strict protocols for a Protective Order regarding discovery materials, specifically prohibiting the Defendant from possessing materials outside the presence of counsel or copying them.

This document is a legal exhibit containing an excerpt from an article in The Independent featuring an interview with a juror named David following the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. David explains that the jury found the victims credible despite defense attempts to attack them and use memory expert Elizabeth Loftus to cast doubt on their recollections. He highlights a specific moment where a victim named 'Carolyn' became distressed on the stand, noting that such incidents increased his compassion rather than creating doubt.

This document is page 11 of a legal filing (Document 103) dated December 23, 2020, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues for Maxwell's release on bail, stating she and her spouse have pledged all assets and that her wealth suggests strict conditions rather than denial of bail. It refutes the government's claim that she is a flight risk or adept at hiding, and clarifies financial details regarding her spouse's assets and banking records.

DOJ-OGR-00021435.jpg

This document contains a page from a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case by the USAO (specifically Acosta, Sloman, and Villafaña). It details the prosecutors' justifications for not notifying victims about the non-prosecution agreement and plea deal, citing a belief that the state would handle notification and a fear that the restitution payments ($150,000) would be used by Epstein's defense to impeach victim witnesses. The text highlights a lack of coordination between federal and state prosecutors regarding victim lists and the specific terms of the plea hearing.

DOJ-OGR-00021276.jpg

This document is an excerpt from a report (likely OPR) detailing internal communications on September 19, 2007, between prosecutors Villafaña, Lourie, and U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta regarding plea negotiations with Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz. While Villafaña and Lourie strongly recommended ending negotiations due to what they perceived as the defense's "bad faith" tactics of re-inserting rejected provisions, Acosta instructed them to continue trying to "work it out" rather than indict immediately. The page ends mid-sentence with Villafaña expressing concern about "caving" to the defense.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021904.jpg

This document is a page from a rough draft transcript (likely House Oversight Committee) where a speaker questions the integrity of Epstein's flight logs. The speaker notes that Alan Dershowitz, a close friend and attorney for Epstein, was the specific individual who provided the logs to Detective Riccari. The speaker raises suspicion that Dershowitz's access to the logs prior to handing them over may have provided an opportunity to sanitize them or remove incriminating information.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021716.jpg

This document is a printout of a Palm Beach Daily News article from August 2011 detailing legal arguments before Judge Kenneth Marra regarding Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement. Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, representing two Jane Does, argued that the U.S. Attorney's Office violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to confer with victims before signing the deal. The attorneys sought to nullify the agreement and unseal correspondence, aiming to expose Epstein to federal prosecution.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016440.jpg

This document, part of House Oversight records, details the friction between investigators (Recarey and Reiter) and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office (Krischer and Belohlavek) during the Epstein investigation. It highlights defense attorney Alan Dershowitz's attempts to discredit a victim using her MySpace page and marijuana use, and Investigator Recarey's strong rebuttal against such victim-blaming. The text also notes that the prosecutors actively avoided communication with the investigators and delayed the approval of subpoenas.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016439.jpg

This document, likely an excerpt from a report or book included in House Oversight files (marked HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016439), details Alan Dershowitz's legal strategy in the Epstein case. It describes how Dershowitz and his team investigated the victims to compile dossiers on their 'troubled pasts' and met with officials Krischer and Recarey to argue that the accusers would not be credible witnesses.
