Letter from DOJ Assistant US Attorney Sloman Misrepresents Independent Review of Epstein Investigation
Letter from DOJ Assistant US Attorney Sloman Misrepresents Independent Review of Epstein Investigation The passage reveals that a DOJ official (Jeffrey Sloman) claimed an independent, de novo review of the Jeffrey Epstein case, but internal documents suggest the review was conducted by Drew Oosterbaan, who had already formed opinions and even expressed willingness to try the case himself. This points to possible internal bias or manipulation of the investigative process, offering a concrete lead (names, dates, memo references) for further inquiry into DOJ handling of the Epstein matter. While the claim is serious, it lacks direct evidence of illegal conduct or financial flows, limiting its score to the strong‑lead range. Key insights: Jeffrey Sloman’s May 19, 2008 letter to Jay Lefkowitz claims an independent de novo DOJ review.; The review was actually performed by Drew Oosterbaan, who had previously reviewed the prosecution memo and expressed personal belief in the case.; Oosterbaan’s prior involvement suggests the review was not independent and may have been predetermined.
