This document is an email chain from March 5, 2019, between attorney Lilly Sanchez and 'J' (likely Jeffrey Epstein via the address jeevacation@gmail.com). The emails contain significant redactions under privilege, but the visible content is a forwarded Miami Herald article by Julie K. Brown. The article details the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office recusing itself from the Epstein case and the Department of Justice reassigning the victims' rights case to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta.
