Deputy Chief, Northern Region Office of the United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 500 South Australian Avenue, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Jeffrey Epstein Dear Mr. Lourie: I write as counsel to Jeffrey Epstein, the subject of a grand jury investigation being conducted by your office. I understand from you that in the next month or two a decision will be made by your office whether to seek an indictment of Mr. Epstein. This will confirm that, prior to any such decision being made, I and other attorneys on behalf of Mr. Epstein will be given an opportunity to meet with you. Additionally, because we believe that any decision to indict requires both a complex legal analysis in a detailed factual context and resolution of significant policy concerns, if our meeting does not resolve the matter, we would like an opportunity to make a presentation first to Matthew Menchel, Chief of the Criminal Division, and Jeffrey Sloman, First Assistant United States Attorney, and then, again, if no resolution is reached, the opportunity to meet with United States EFTA00223866  LAW on ICES or GERALD 13.
