This document is a transcript of a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein held on July 8, 2019, in the Southern District of New York. The hearing was presided over by Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman. The government, represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys, argued for Epstein's detention pending trial, citing risks of flight and danger to the community. Epstein's defense, led by Reid Weingarten, argued against detention, suggesting a bail package and questioning the validity of the charges based on a previous non-prosecution agreement in Florida. The hearing was adjourned to allow the defense to prepare a bail package.
