Email chain from July 2019 scheduling a 'reverse proffer' meeting between prosecutors and attorney Michael Bachner regarding the Epstein investigation, sent days after Epstein's federal arrest.
This document is an email thread from July 11-12, 2019, between federal prosecutors and Michael Bachner of Bachner & Associates regarding scheduling a meeting about the Epstein investigation. The emails reference arranging a 'reverse proffer' session for July 16, 2019 at 6pm. This correspondence occurred just days after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest on July 6, 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges in New York. A reverse proffer typically involves prosecutors sharing information with defense counsel, suggesting this may relate to a client of Bachner's who had information relevant to the case or was potentially cooperating with investigators.
