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.
