Attached is a memo outlining (probably in exponentially more detail than you wanted) the background of the Jeffrey Epstein case and some of the reasons why it would probably be best for another district to handle any future investigation. As I mentioned, venue may lie in multiple districts, which may make it easier on whichever district ultimately handles the investigation. Thanks as always.
