A DOJ travel reimbursement email chain from November 2019 related to a witness interview in the federal case against Jeffrey Epstein (U.S. v. Epstein), documenting expenses for travel to Santa Monica, California.
This document is an internal Department of Justice email exchange regarding a travel expense voucher for a witness interview in the U.S. v. Epstein case. The emails discuss corrections to lodging costs at the Doubletree by Hilton in Santa Monica and a dispute over a $1 discrepancy in nightly rates plus tax reimbursement. The trip occurred November 13-15, 2019, with total expenses of $1,517.64. This is an administrative record that confirms the DOJ was actively conducting witness interviews in the Epstein case during this period.

Thanks. u je : : Final voucner iussivaialil prepares oy a travel arranger is pending your review Alex, regarding the Transient Occupancy Tax, LA County is tax exempt. I've contacted Doubletree by Hilton Santa Monica for a refund for those charges. Thanks for your patience in this matter. Su eject: RE: Fina Vouc er 10810414(1) prepared by a travel arranger is pending your review Unfortunately this is still incorrect. First, it has the nightly lodging costs listed as $248 when in fact it was $247 — see the invoice, which is attached again. (Or please let me know if I'm supposed to be reimbursed for the maximum daily allowance rather than the actual cost.) Also it still does not include the tax. Please let me know when it is corrected and I will review it again.
