Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 10:55 AM To: Brendan White Subject: RE: Grand Jury Appearance Dear Mr. White: If Mr. Epstein enters a guilty plea in accordance with that agreement on Monday, then the subpoena will be withdrawn. At this point, I have not received confirmation that the change of plea is going to occur, nor have I received information confirming that the plea will be in conformance with our agreement. As such, at this time, 1 still intend to present Ms. Lacerda's testimony to the grand jury on Tuesday. With respect to the immunity question, I refer you to my e-mail of June 2314, which is shown below. If the situation changes, I will contact you. Thank you. A.

(USAFLS) Subject: Re: Grand Jury Appearance Dear Ms. Villafana: I understand that there has been a recent development with respect to Mr. Epstein in that he intends to plead guilty in Florida state court on Monday pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement with your office that has already been executed. Since this would seem to obviate any need for Ms. Lacerda to testify, please let me know what is going on with respect to this Tuesday. Do we still need to come down there and, if so, will she receive court-ordered immunity? Thanks. Brendan White --- Original Message --- From: Villafana. AM Marie C. (USAFLS). To: Brendan White Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 2:09 PM Subject: RE: Grand Jury Appearance Dear Mr. White: Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers. 08-80736-CV-MARRA 101 P-014993 EFTA00225387
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide me with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to criminal liability, then f can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an attorney statement made in the course of confidential plea discussions and related negotiations, and would be governed by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(0 and Fed. R. Evid. 410. A. Marie Villafalla Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

I am assuming that this will be done in connection with an order of immunity. Please let me know if that is correct so I can advise Ms. Lacerda. Thanks.
