The DOJ's Criminal Division, led by Andrew G. Oosterbaan, evaluated issues in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation to determine if federal prosecution would contradict criminal enforcement policy interests. The letter addresses various legal and factual issues raised by Epstein's defense, including knowledge of age, travel purpose, intent, use of interstate commerce, absence of coercion, witness credibility, search warrant contradictions, and the petite policy. The DOJ concludes that U.S. Attorney Acosta could properly use his discretion to authorize prosecution.
