Ms. was one of the victims identified in our initial investigation ofJeffrey Epstein, although at the time we were only able to speak to her briefly on the telephone, unwilling to spend the funds o interview her without an assurance that she would provide complete information. Through speaking with the press, Ms. made contact • Edwards and his investigator, Mike Fisten, who in turn, reached out to me, and I tol Agent regarding these new allegationsali are not allegations that we had heard from Ms. during the initial investigation.) Special Agent and I spoke briefly with Ms. on Monday to arrange with her to do a formal interview, We are trying to set up t at interview for Monday or Tuesday. Today, Special Agent and I met with Brad Edwards, Mike Fisten, and one ofBrad Edwardslie law partners, Steve Jaffe, regarding Ms. allegations and other potential crimes uncovered during the course of Edwardsiirm and Fistena€Ws lengthy investigation of Epstein during their prosecution of several civil suits against him. I mean to provide you all with a lengthy legal memo discussing the potential charges against Epstein and the effect of the Non-Prosecution Agreement on any prosecution, but the things we learned today were of such significance, that I did not want to wait any longer. 3501.226-068 Page 1 of 3 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00107986 EFTA01249058 Mike Fisten provided us with the following information regarding Ms. has reported that she was flown all over the United States and Europe to have sex with a number of prominent men and one wo of the trips were on Epsteinfies private plane and after each encounter she was paid by Epstein. Ms. also reports that the encounters were videotaped by Epstein and, at the end of each encounter, Epstein would afcedebrieffitH Ms. and take notes. These allegations are consistent with information received during our investigation that Epstein made his millions by fiecegetting (finite on important people and blackmailing them. Ms. also reported that Epstein gave her Xanax to keep her emotionally malleable. The important le who were listed are: Governor Bill Richardson; Prince Andrew; Alan Dershowitz (oral sex when Ms. was 16); Senator George Mitchell; (former) Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Bank; Les Wexner (CEO o e Limited GroupNictorias Secret); Ghislaine Maxwell; Glenn Dubin (founder of Highbridge Capital); and a Nobel Prize winning scientist from Harvard. Ms. has allegedly seen some of the videos and she may have pictures or other documentation, but we will need to get that from her. She also said that there were a lot of other people that she was forced to have sex with, but she would need to see pictures to identify them. Ms. also reported that President Bill Clinton came to Epsteina€T"es house several times and received aficeerotic massages,fif although not from her, and at least one of these happened while he was still president. Some of these encounters occurred in Palm Beach, some in New Mexico, some in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and some in Europe (all at Epsteinites residences or on his plane). [Please note that the newspapers say fiEcethere is no allegation that there was any sexual contact with Prince Andrewie due to the libel laws in England that donielt allow the uncorroborated statements to be published, but she did report having sex with all of the above-listed men to the reporter, according to Fister.] Ms identified at least two other girls who were prostituted by Epstein to this high-profile men. In addition to these crimes, Brad Edwards and Mike Fisten provided a lot of information regarding their own investigation of Epstein that relate to obstruction ofjustice, including: Epsteinfies perjury during a deposition in one of the civil cases that led the court reporter to approach Edwards and say iecethat is the clearest case of perjury I have ever seen and I will be happy to testify about it for you;afL evidence of Epstein and his probation officer falsifying records showing that Epstein was at home while Epstein was in South Beach or outside the state; and Epstein sending a lawyer to see a victim who had been subpoenaed and telling her that the government was going to take away her baby if she cooperated. And, last but certainly not least, there was a long discussion ofEpsteinfies involvement with a modeling agency based in New York and Miami that was used as a front to bring in underage girls to service Epstein and his friends. There are a number of potential targets related to these allegations but, in short, the agency would submit fraudulent visa applications saying that the girls were here to model, but they were really brought in to prostitute fit a classic human trafficking case. Epsteina€T"es partner has previously been discredited in connection with a former modeling agency he owned where he used promises ofmodeling contracts to sexually abuse young girls. Edwards and Fister also have been in contact with a fifeesourcefif who Epstein has contacted to discuss developing a new KcesystemafLi to obtain large amounts of girls. They are going to provide card to this fiEcesourceff to see if he is willing to cooperate. As mentioned, I will write up a formal memo with analysis and a proposed course of conduct.
