Phillipe:
forwarded your query. As you might anticipate, we cannot discuss matters that aren’t in the public record, and in any event, as a matter of office policy, prosecutors in our office are not available for interviews, on the record, on background, or off-the-record.
Please note that any future inquiries about this or any other case brought by the Office should be directed toward me or my colleague, copied here.
Best regards,
Public Information Officer United States Department of Justice
