Only the members of the Grand Jury, attorneys for the United States and a stenographer are permitted in the Grand Jury room while you testify. The U.S. Department of Justice encourages prosecutors to notify an individual in appropriate cases that he or she is a target of a grand jury investigation. Accordingly, you are hereby notified that you are a target of a federal grand jury investigation in the Southern District of Florida concerning suspected violations of federal law, including but not limited to, possible violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2, 371, 1512, 1591, 1952, 1956, 1960, 2421, 2422, and 2423. You arc advised that the destruction or alteration of any document required to be produced before the grand jury constitutes serious violation of federal law, including but not limited to Obstruction of Justice. A "target" is a person as to whom the prosecutors or the Grand Jury have substantial Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARFtA P-0 13610 3524-023 Page I of 3 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_000096 19 EFTA00159462 August 31, 2007 Page 2 evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutors, is a putative defendant.

The decision whether to do so is a voluntary matter which is entirely up to you. The grand jury, if in fact it learns of this opportunity afforded to you, will be instructed not to draw any adverse inference from your failure to appear should you decide not to accept this invitation. You must further understand that should you decide to testify, your testimony could be used against you ifany criminal charges should be filed against you. Should you decide to appear before the grand jury, you will have the same rights and obligations as any non-immunized grand jury witness. Specifically, You may refuse to answer any question if a truthful answer to the question would tend to incriminate you. You have the right to stop answering questions at any time. Anything you say may be used against you at the grand jury or in a subsequent legal proceeding. The grand jury will permit you a reasonable opportunity to step outside the grand jury room to consult with your attorney, if you so desire, at any point during the testimony you give. Please be further advised that the giving of false testimony before the grand jury will subject you to a prosecution for perjury in addition to the violations set forth above. As a target of a grand jury investigation who has been asked to appear before the grand jury, you may wish to retain the services of an attorney. If you cannot afford the services of independent counsel, the Court may be able to appoint counsel to represent you. If you would like the United States to ask the Court to appoint an attorney to represent you, please contact the undcrsigncd at 561 209-1047. The United States is investigating other individuals, and you may be interested in cooperating with the United Slates against those other targets. If you hire an attorney, or if the Court appoints one to represent you, that counsel can contact me to discuss that possibility.

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict

Federal prosecutors allegedly back‑down on Epstein victim notifications after pressure from Epstein’s lawyers, with DOJ officials’ communications revealing internal conflict The passage provides concrete names (Jeffrey Sloman, Acosta, Lefkowitz, Starr) and dates (2008, 2013) showing possible obstruction of victim notifications in the Epstein case, suggesting a lead for investigating DOJ and FBI decision‑making. While it ties high‑level officials, the claim of pressure from Epstein’s attorneys is not yet corroborated, limiting the score to the high‑mid range. Key insights: Jeffrey Sloman, top aide to U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, planned to notify Epstein victims after a plea deal was signed.; Lefkowitz warned Acosta that the office had promised not to contact victims or potential claimants.; Federal prosecutors resumed the FBI investigation and interviewed witnesses in NY and NM while plea negotiations continued.
