An email chain from December 2018 involving Jeffrey Epstein, his lawyers (Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz), and PR advisors (Michael Wolff, Matthew Hiltzik) strategizing a defense against renewed scrutiny of Epstein's 2008 plea deal. Ken Starr drafts a statement arguing the federal government overstepped in a local matter and defending the plea deal as appropriate, characterizing Epstein's crimes merely as 'solicitation of prostitution.' Michael Wolff suggests deflecting blame by highlighting Epstein's connections to Bill Clinton and framing the current scrutiny as a political attack on Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.
