This page from a DOJ OPR report details the delays in Jeffrey Epstein's guilty plea following the signing of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It describes legal maneuvering by Epstein's defense team, including Kenneth Starr calling senior DOJ official Alice Fisher, and disagreements between the USAO and defense regarding the timeline for the plea entry, which was eventually set for January 4, 2008. The document also highlights internal communications regarding Epstein's failure to use 'best efforts' to comply with the NPA timeline.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019230.jpg
This document is page 7 of a letter addressed to Honorable Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008. It details allegations that Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein leaked confidential information regarding the Epstein case and plea negotiations to New York Times reporter Landon Thomas. The text criticizes the U.S. Attorney's Office, specifically First Assistant Sloman and U.S. Attorney Acosta, for their handling of these leaks and the subsequent internal review.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019229.jpg
This document is page 6 of a letter to the Honorable Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008, detailing complaints about the conduct of federal prosecutors in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The text alleges that prosecutors made unprecedented financial demands, including a requirement for Epstein to pay $150,000 to alleged victims (most of whom were later found to be adults, not minors) and to fund a specific civil attorney chosen by the prosecution. It further alleges a conflict of interest where an Assistant U.S. Attorney recommended a civil lawyer connected to their boyfriend, and notes that First Assistant Sloman's former law partner, Mr. Herman, began filing civil suits against Epstein.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023129.jpg
This document, part of a House Oversight collection, contains text from a news report analyzing the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement. It features quotes from prosecutor Sloman admitting terms should have been harsher but denying corruption, and details former US Attorney Acosta's 2011 defense of the deal against Epstein's 'army of legal superstars.' The text also highlights the victims' lawsuit against the government for sealing the deal and includes criticism from law professor Marci Hamilton regarding the failure to charge co-conspirators.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013084.jpg
This document is page 168 of an academic text titled 'General Intelligence in the Everyday Human World'. It discusses theoretical concepts of 'naive physics', specifically focusing on events, processes, causality, states of matter, and surfaces. It cites researchers Gibson and Sloman. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013084' stamp, indicating it was produced as part of a House Oversight Committee investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013014.jpg
This document presents a high-level architecture of a human-like mind (Figure 5.1), detailing subsystems for perception, action, memory, and processing. The text discusses the rationale behind the architectural choices, comparing them to Sloman's diagram and the LIDA architecture, while explaining modifications such as the explicit inclusion of language and reinforcement components.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025358.jpg
This document is page 6 of a letter to the Honorable Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008, likely from Jeffrey Epstein's legal defense team. It outlines complaints against federal prosecutors, alleging they made unprecedented financial demands ($150,000 per alleged victim), attempted to control the selection of civil attorneys for the victims, and engaged in conflicts of interest involving an Assistant U.S. Attorney. The text also highlights a connection between a civil attorney suing Epstein (Mr. Herman) and a First Assistant prosecutor (Sloman), noting they were former law partners.
