This document is the body of an email from an attorney named Jay (associated with Kirkland & Ellis LLP) regarding his client, Jeffrey Epstein. The attorney asserts that recent press coverage of Epstein has been inaccurate and defamatory, offering to answer factual questions via email or phone (212-446-4970) to provide accurate responses. The document includes standard legal confidentiality disclaimers and a House Oversight Bates stamp.

This page from a Kirkland & Ellis legal memorandum argues that Jeffrey Epstein cannot be convicted under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) for using interstate commerce (telephones) to induce minors because the calls were merely for scheduling ('are you available') and did not contain explicit solicitations. The defense contends that any alleged sexual activity was spontaneous and occurred face-to-face after the call, meaning the 'plain language' of the statute regarding the use of a facility of interstate commerce was not violated. The document cites *Santos* and *Cuellar* to support the argument that the statute requires the criminal intent and conduct to occur during the communication itself.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012145.jpg
This document is a page from a legal memorandum authored by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, arguing against federal prosecution of their client (implied to be Jeffrey Epstein). The text asserts that the alleged conduct—described controversially as 'consensual conduct' in a private home, even involving minors—is a matter for state (Florida/Palm Beach) jurisdiction rather than federal law. It cites various legal precedents, including United States v. Santos (2008), to argue for a narrow interpretation of federal criminal statutes.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012144.jpg
This document is a legal submission from Kirkland & Ellis LLP defending Jeffrey Epstein. It argues that the Florida State Attorney's Office has already investigated and charged Epstein as a 'local John' for soliciting prostitution, and that under the DOJ's 'Petite Policy,' federal prosecution is precluded following state action. The defense minimizes the allegations, asserting the women were over 16, acted voluntarily, and were not 'trolled' at high schools.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012143.jpg
This document is a page from a legal submission by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, arguing against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The text asserts that federal statutes are being impermissibly stretched and requests that the case be handled by the State of Florida. In the 'Summary of Facts,' the defense claims Epstein did not personally schedule massages, that sexual activity was limited primarily to self-masturbation, and that underage women systematically lied to Epstein about their age.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012142.jpg
A legal submission by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General arguing against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The document characterizes Epstein as a 'successful businessman' and an 'ordinary John,' arguing that his conduct constitutes state-level prostitution offenses rather than federal crimes like sex trafficking. It asserts he did not use interstate commerce (internet/phone) to induce minors and claims the relevant conduct is time-barred under Florida state law.

A legal letter from Kenneth Starr (Kirkland & Ellis) to John Roth dated June 19, 2008, regarding Jeffrey Epstein's case. Starr disputes a claim by Mr. Sloman that the Southern District of Florida (SDFL) was willing to defer sentencing length to the State, asserting instead that federal prosecutors insisted on a specific prison term (18 months plus house arrest). Starr argues this created an appearance of impropriety and requests an oral presentation to facilitate Roth's independent review of the matter.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012139.jpg
A letter from Kirkland & Ellis LLP to John Roth, Esq. dated June 19, 2008, arguing that the USAO is withholding exculpatory Brady evidence regarding witness interviews. The defense alleges the federal prosecution is politically motivated due to Epstein's ties to Bill Clinton and accuses prosecutors AUSA Villafana and FAUSA Sloman of specific ethical misconduct and conflicts of interest.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012138.jpg
This document is page 3 of a legal letter from Kirkland & Ellis to John Roth, dated June 19, 2008. The letter argues that a new Grand Jury subpoena violates Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) and asserts that the investigation in New York lacks the federal elements (internet luring, coercion, etc.) necessary for prosecution. The defense claims that three principal accusers (names redacted) have given sworn statements that contradict the prosecution's case.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012136.jpg
A letter from Kenneth Starr (Kirkland & Ellis) to John Roth (DOJ) dated June 19, 2008, arguing that federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein is unwarranted. Starr outlines four supplemental submissions being sent to the DOJ, which include allegations of misconduct during the federal investigation, a rebuttal to claims by the Miami USAO, and a letter from a former CEOS attorney. The document indicates an aggressive legal defense strategy aimed at preventing federal charges.
