He put in a pitch for only 12 months, I put in a pitch that he plead to 24 with a 20-month recommendation, and we decided that we would be stuck with the 18 months. So he will plead to one count of obstructing a witness from reporting a crime based upon call to one of the girls subtly pressuring her not to participate in the investigation and one count of simple assault on an airplane based upon an incident where Epstein "put great pressure" [Jay's words] on to call the girls to set up appointments. I will revise the plea agreement accordingly and draft an information for your review. I will be out the rest of the day, but I will be accessible over the weekend. I will give all of the electronic files to and in case you need to make changes. • thinks we will have a signed agreement by Monday and I am hoping that we can convince Judge Marra to use the time on Tuesday that he set aside for the hearing to take the plea instead. Documents to follow soon. EFTA00215308
