Jay P. Lefkowitz of Kirkland & Ellis LLP writes to R. Alexander Acosta, expressing objections to a draft letter intended for individuals identified as potential victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The letter criticizes the draft for mischaracterizing Epstein's legal status and the terms of the non-prosecution agreement, and for potentially inciting media attention and civil litigation. Lefkowitz argues against the involvement of federal witnesses in state proceedings and questions the appropriateness of notifying alleged victims before Epstein's plea or sentencing.
