Internal DOJ travel approval emails from December 2019 showing federal prosecutors continuing the Epstein investigation (case 2018R01618) and arranging witness interviews in Los Angeles after Epstein's death.
This document contains a chain of internal emails from the Department of Justice dated December 2019, approximately four months after Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody. Prosecutors request approval to travel from New York to Los Angeles to conduct witness interviews as part of the ongoing Epstein investigation (case number 2018R01618). The emails reveal that federal investigators were actively pursuing leads and interviewing witnesses even after Epstein could no longer be prosecuted, suggesting the investigation extended to potential co-conspirators or related criminal activity.

Thanks! • Hotel—same as last time, the DoubleTree in Santa Monica is fine. Checking in 12/15, checking out the next day • We do not need a conference room • Outbound flight: Sunday, 12/15, departing JFK at 11:40 am on Delta, landing at LAX at 3:01 p.m. • Inbound flight: Monday, 12/16, departing LAX at 8:32 p.m. on JetBlue, landing at JFK at 4:47 a.m. • If you could please make all flights refundable, that would be great — it's possible we'll need to rebook parts of this if witness availability changes or we're able to stay longer and meet with an additional witness. Thanks a bunch.
