This document is a legal submission by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General regarding the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. It argues against federal prosecution, stating that Epstein's conduct falls under state jurisdiction and does not meet the criteria for federal charges under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591, 2422(b), and 2423(b). The submission emphasizes the lack of federal nexus, the rule of lenity, and recent Supreme Court decisions that require narrow interpretation of federal statutes. It also highlights that Epstein's actions were consensual and did not involve coercion or trafficking, and that state law should prevail.
