This document is a court transcript from July 16, 2019, where an attorney, Mr. Weingarten, provides context to the court about a prior investigation into Mr. Epstein. He describes a three-year investigation that began in Florida in 2005, involving both local and federal law enforcement, concerning allegations of prostitution.
