EFTA00020711.pdf

This document is a 'Second Supplemental Privilege Log' from the case Jane Doe v. United States, listing internal DOJ, FBI, and USAO communications withheld from civil discovery. The log chronicles the timeline of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation from late 2006 to August 2008, detailing the internal deliberations regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), plea negotiations, and the drafting of the indictment. It reveals critical details such as internal disagreements over plea terms, Epstein's refusal to plead to anything other than 'assault on the plane,' Jay Lefkowitz's admission that he never intended Epstein to register as a sex offender, and the government's struggles with victim notification and harassment by Epstein's defense team.

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.

EFTA00013785.pdf

A 14-page letter from attorney Stephanie D. Thacker to DOJ official John Roth arguing against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Thacker contends the case lacks federal jurisdiction (no interstate travel for illegal purposes, no commercial sex trafficking) and should remain a state matter. She highlights credibility issues with witnesses who admitted to lying about their age and accuses the lead detective of omitting exculpatory evidence in search warrant affidavits.

EFTA00010132.pdf

This document is an internal Department of Justice email chain from November 9, 2021. The Deputy Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section forwarded a 'citizen correspondence' referencing Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the U.S. Attorney's Office (USANYS). The correspondence was subsequently filed into a 'NTW 3500 folder' (likely referring to Jencks Act material for the Maxwell trial). The DOJ noted their standard response to such citizen emails is to advise the writer to contact the FBI.

DOJ-OGR-00002972.jpg

This document is page 38 of a legal filing in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The government argues that the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed by the USAO-SDFL with Jeffrey Epstein did not bind other districts. It cites the November 2020 DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report, noting that while USAO-SDFL prosecutor Maria Villafaña consulted with DOJ Child Exploitation Chief Andrew Oosterbaan, this does not support the defendant's claim of a wider immunity promise.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019221.jpg

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.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022016.jpg

This document appears to be an excerpt from James Patterson's book 'Filthy Rich' (marked as House Oversight evidence) detailing the aggressive legal defense mounted by Jeffrey Epstein. The text describes a 'year-long assault' on prosecutors by an 'army of legal superstars' including Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr, noting that the defense investigated prosecutors' families to find grounds for disqualification. It chronicles the negotiations leading up to the June 30, 2008 guilty plea, where the prosecution insisted on two years imprisonment and sex offender registration.

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.
