(USAFLS), (USAFLS); Cc: (USAFLS); (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Jeffrey epstein prosecution -CONTACT FROM NEWSWEEK Proposed SDFL (non)response: (USAFLS) As you know from your communications with the DOJ's Office of Public Affairs, the defense in this case asked for an independent DOJ review of all facts, circumstances and allegations surrounding this prosecution. The Office of the Deputy Attorney General did in fact review the case, which is not uncommon, and determined that NO MISCONDUCT OCCURRED AND THAT prosecutorial discretion in the case appropriately rested with the U.S. Attorney's Office. If you agree, I need to run this by DOJ. DOJ already provided the following comment -- but ours is slightly different (ergo, the need to run it by them) DOJ response: The Office of the Deputy Attorney General did review the case, which is not uncommon, and determined that prosecutorial discretion in the case appropriately rested with the U.S. Attorney's Office. (Off the record, note "review' would be the appropriate word, not "negotiate".) In terms of a boss, the U.S. Attorneys' Offices report through the Office of the Deputy Attorney General (at the time, Mark Filip was the DAG.) Ori inal Messa e-- From: .

Why do they always wait until 2 minutes before their deadline to contact us99999 I did not fail to call her back, I referred the matter to you. Can you please handle this. Making clear that all allegations raised by Epstein's team were investigated by DOJ and found to be completely meritless. You might also add that Epstein had previously made false allegations against the Palm Beach Police Chief. I would love to know how they got the letter, but they probably will not tell you their source. Assistant U.S. Attome EFTA00206429
