This document details the legal team assembled by Epstein following the opening of a USAO investigation in late 2006. Epstein hired several high-profile attorneys, including former federal prosecutors Guy Lewis and Lilly Ann Sanchez, and later retained Kenneth Starr and Jay Lefkowitz of Kirkland & Ellis, who contacted the USAO on his behalf in August 2007. The defense team was further expanded with the addition of attorneys Martin Weinberg and Joe D. Whitley.

This is the final page (page 8) of a letter dated May 19, 2008, sent by attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley to the Honorable Mark Filip. The attorneys are requesting that the Department of Justice discontinue federal involvement in the case (implied to be Epstein's) to allow the State to handle it, arguing issues of federalism and prosecutorial selectivity. They also request a meeting with Filip to discuss these matters.

Attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley write to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip requesting a review of federal involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case, which they characterize as a 'quintessentially state matter.' They criticize a previous 'limited' review conducted by CEOS at the request of U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, alleging it ignored professional misconduct by federal prosecutors and failed to assess the Deferred Prosecution Agreement.

This document is page 2 of a letter from attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley to Mark Filip, dated May 27, 2008, advocating for Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys argue that the prosecution is politically motivated due to Epstein's association with Bill Clinton and complain about arbitrary deadlines imposed by Mr. Sloman and the USAO. They request a tolling of the July 8, 2008 deadline and an independent review of the case, claiming Epstein is being forced to demand a more severe punishment than the State Attorney deemed appropriate.

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.

This is page 8 (the signature page) of a legal letter dated May 19, 2008, addressed to Mark Filip. Attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley request that the recipient review the case and discontinue federal involvement, arguing that the matter should be closed by the State and that current federal attempts involve an overreach of statutes. They request a meeting to discuss these issues of federalism and selectivity. The letter mentions U.S. Attorney Acosta.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025353.jpg
This document is a confidential letter dated May 19, 2008, from attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip. The attorneys represent Jeffrey Epstein and are requesting a review of federal involvement in his case, characterizing it as a 'quintessentially state matter.' They argue that a recent review by CEOS was insufficient because it ignored allegations of professional misconduct by federal prosecutors in the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office and failed to assess the Deferred Prosecution Agreement.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025705.jpg
A legal letter dated May 27, 2008, from Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley to Mark Filip regarding the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys argue that the prosecution appears politically motivated due to Epstein's friendship with Bill Clinton and claim the USAO would not prosecute a standard 'John' in this manner. They request a review of the case and the tolling of an 'arbitrary' deadline set by prosecutor Mr. Sloman.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025704.jpg
In this confidential letter dated May 27, 2008, attorneys Kenneth Starr and Joe Whitley urge Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip to intervene in the federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. They allege that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, specifically Jeffrey Sloman, imposed an arbitrary deadline for a Non-Prosecution Agreement to prevent an independent DOJ review. The letter highlights Epstein's 'close ties' to former President Clinton and alleges misconduct by the USAO, including leaks to the New York Times and conflicts of interest involving Sloman's former law partner.
