The Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) is a Department of Justice office that provides legal advice to the President and executive branch. It appears in Epstein documents primarily in legal and academic contexts discussing presidential powers, crime victims' rights, and procedural matters—not in connection with Epstein himself.
The OLC appears in 14 mentions across 13 documents, but none directly connect it to Jeffrey Epstein. Most mentions occur in legal scholarship and government records discussing constitutional law (presidential immunity from prosecution, executive authority), crime victims' rights under the CVRA, and Geneva Convention interpretations. Two mentions reference ABC News' Office of Legal Counsel regarding interviews with Jane Doe 3, which is a completely separate entity from the DOJ's OLC. The organization's presence in these files is incidental—it's referenced in legal documents that happen to be in the collection, not because of any relationship to Epstein.
in answering this question, commentators point to Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions answering in the contrary. To what
