Event Details

This document, likely part of a House Oversight report, contrasts the judicial criticism of the U.S. Attorney's Office for 'lack of candor' in a case involving a defendant named McDaniel with the actions of prosecutors Marie Villafaña and Alexander Acosta in the Jeffrey Epstein case. It details how prosecutors negotiated a non-prosecution agreement in September 2007 that granted immunity to co-conspirators and avoided federal sex trafficking charges. The text highlights an email from Villafaña to Epstein's lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, explicitly stating her preference not to highlight other crimes or chargeable persons to the judge.
