This document is an email dated August 5, 2016, from Will Bohlen to a group of recipients including high-profile attorneys Reid Weingarten and Jason Weinstein. The email shares a Reuters article reporting that Fethullah Gulen's lawyers fear for his life amid extradition demands from Turkey following the July 2016 coup attempt. While the document content is strictly about Gulen, it is likely part of an Epstein-related document dump because recipient Reid Weingarten was one of Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys.

This document is an email chain from August 5, 2016, involving attorneys from Steptoe & Johnson LLP and other individuals monitoring news coverage of Fethullah Gulen following the failed Turkish coup attempt. The emails circulate articles from the BBC, USA Today, and Al Arabiya regarding Turkey's extradition requests and fears for Gulen's safety. The document appears to be part of a House Oversight Committee production (likely related to foreign lobbying or the Flynn investigation), and while the user prompt mentions 'Epstein-related,' the content strictly concerns Turkish political affairs and Fethullah Gulen.
