Event Details

This document is an email chain from January 30, 2008, between Jay Lefkowitz (Kirkland & Ellis) and U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, which Acosta forwarded to an unidentified Assistant U.S. Attorney. Lefkowitz informs Acosta of a $50 million civil lawsuit filed against Epstein and states that they intend to depose a specific individual (name redacted) in response. The Assistant U.S. Attorney replies to Acosta's forward with the remark, 'Won't he be surprised when [Redacted] isn't part of the indictment,' implying that a key figure or the deposition target would not be facing federal charges.
