HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031980.jpg
This email thread from March 2011 documents a media inquiry from Newsweek journalist Alexandra Wolfe to Jeffrey Epstein's legal counsel, Jay Lefkowitz. Wolfe submits a list of probing questions regarding Epstein's business valuation ($15 billion), his work arrangements while in prison, his Science Foundation, his reaction to his sentence, and his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. Lefkowitz forwards these questions to Epstein and PR consultant Michael Sitrick.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013330.jpg
This document page details the evidence collected by the Palm Beach Police Department, specifically message pads indicating the daily scheduling of girls aged 12-16. It outlines the U.S. Attorney's Office's preparation of federal charges, including an 82-page prosecution memo and a 53-page indictment. The text includes a specific email from AUSA Villafaña to Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, issuing a deadline for plea negotiations to avoid indictment.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013323.jpg
This page from a legal document details allegations that Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys and U.S. prosecutors communicated to minimize his civil exposure, referencing a 2007 email and proposed letter. It quotes a joint statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's counsel regarding an investigation that identified forty young women as victims of Epstein's solicitation and abuse in Palm Beach.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025355.jpg
This document is page 3 of a letter from Jeffrey Epstein's defense team to Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008. The text argues that the case against Epstein is a local solicitation of prostitution matter that should be handled by the State Attorney in Palm Beach, rather than federal prosecutors (USAO). The defense claims federal involvement is politically motivated by Epstein's connection to Bill Clinton and accuses federal prosecutors of leaking information to the New York Times and interfering with state plea negotiations.
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.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021755.jpg
This document, stemming from a House Oversight collection, appears to be an excerpt from a report or article comparing the U.S. Attorney's Office's strict handling of a defendant named McDaniel with their lenient handling of Jeffrey Epstein. It details how prosecutors Acosta and Villafaña negotiated a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein's lawyers (including Jay Lefkowitz) in 2007, suppressing a 53-page federal indictment and keeping victims uninformed to ensure the deal's success. The text highlights the 'Perversion of Justice' investigation which exposed these actions.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021747.jpg
This document, likely part of a House Oversight report, contrasts the judicial criticism of the U.S. Attorney's Office for 'lack of candor' in a case involving a defendant named McDaniel with the actions of prosecutors Marie Villafaña and Alexander Acosta in the Jeffrey Epstein case. It details how prosecutors negotiated a non-prosecution agreement in September 2007 that granted immunity to co-conspirators and avoided federal sex trafficking charges. The text highlights an email from Villafaña to Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, explicitly stating her preference not to highlight other crimes or chargeable persons to the judge.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021737.jpg
This document, likely an excerpt from a report or article submitted to the House Oversight Committee, details the prosecutorial misconduct surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. It contrasts a previous case (McDaniel) where prosecutors were criticized for lack of candor with the Epstein negotiations in September 2007, where prosecutors Villafaña and Acosta actively worked to hide the scope of Epstein's crimes from the judge and the public. It highlights an email where Villafaña explicitly states she prefers not to highlight other crimes or potential co-defendants to the judge during sentencing.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021404.jpg
An email from attorney Jay Lefkowitz to Alexandra Wolfe dated March 7, 2011. Lefkowitz, representing Jeffrey Epstein, addresses Wolfe's inquiries, asserting that previous press coverage of Epstein has been inaccurate and defamatory. He requests that Wolfe send factual questions for him to answer and provides his contact information.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021403.jpg
This document is an email chain ending on March 8, 2011, in which Jeffrey Epstein forwards a list of interview questions from journalist Alexandra Wolfe to Mike Sitrick. The questions, originally sent to attorney Jay Lefkowitz, probe Epstein's post-prison life, the status of his $15 billion business, his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, and his charitable work with Bill Clinton.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016455.jpg
This document serves as a narrative summary of the tense negotiations between the US Attorney's Office (Acosta, Sloman) and Jeffrey Epstein's legal team (Lefkowitz, Starr) around 2008. It details how Epstein's lawyers aggressively pressured the government to prevent victim notification, leading to a secret non-prosecution agreement while the FBI briefly continued investigating in NY and NM. The text notes that in 2013, the government finally admitted they backed down on victim notifications due to objections from Epstein's attorneys.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016447.jpg
This document, likely an excerpt from a news article included in House Oversight records, details Jeffrey Epstein's connections to high-profile figures and his legal strategy during his 2006 prosecution. It describes his recruitment of Virginia Roberts at Mar-a-Lago, his 2002 trip to South Africa with Bill Clinton and celebrities, and his hiring of politically connected lawyers Kenneth Starr and Jay Lefkowitz to combat federal prosecutor Acosta.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016436.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a 2018 news article (likely the Miami Herald) included in a House Oversight Committee file. It details the legal maneuvering by Epstein's high-profile legal team to avoid prison time for him and highlights the efforts of Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and Detective Joseph Recarey to investigate Epstein despite the risks to their careers. The text describes the influx of underage girls to Epstein's Palm Beach compound and the wealthy environment of the island.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016425.jpg
This document is page 2 of a legal affidavit, likely filed by representatives of the New York Post in December 2018. It details the newspaper's efforts to unseal legal briefs related to an appeal by Jeffrey Epstein, chronicling communications between Post reporter Susan Edelman and the Manhattan DA's office, as well as the affiant's communications with Epstein's lawyers, Jay Lefkowitz and Martin Weinberg. The DA's office indicated they would not oppose a petition for a redacted brief.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030433.jpg
This editorial from the Sun Sentinel, reprinted in The Virgin Islands Daily News, heavily criticizes the U.S. government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. It argues that the lenient 2007 non-prosecution agreement, brokered by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, was illegal, violated victims' rights, and was shrouded in secrecy to protect Epstein. The article calls on Judge Kenneth Marra to void the agreement, rejecting the Department of Justice's current stance that the deal must stand despite the acknowledged failures.
