RE: Epstein I have no idea. Our draft letter is with the DAAG, who participated in the meetings with Epstein's lawyers. She's had it for a few days, so I expect to have her approval very soon. ----- Original Message----- From: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) [mailto:Jeff.Sloman@usdoj.gov] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 1:43 PM TO: sterner eee Cc Subject: Epstein Drew, Jay and Ken Starr called Alex yesterday.

BEE From: Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 3:32 PM To: Subject: pstein Hi Bob — is this okay to send to Drew? Hi Drew -- FYI — There was an article in Sunday’s Palm Beach Post about Epstein’s state case. Epstein’s attorney is quoted as saying that Epstein is being “treated more harshly because he is wealthy.” | am leaving on a three-week vacation in around 5 weeks, and | wanted to have the case at least past the discovery phase by the time I left, so | would really like to present the indictment to the grand jury a week from tomorrow (since Jeff promised them a week from the time of your decision). Has the DAAG made a decision? Any chance it will happen today? Thank you, and sorry to be a pest. — . ) . = 500 S.
