DOJ email chain on responding to NYT article and Epstein suit, Nov. 2018
Internal Justice Department email chain discussing strategy for publicly staking a claim in the Epstein litigation, including subpoenaing his civil lawyer and contacting the FBI.Machine-written summary
Definitely a friendly call. Good question on OEO. Is it the same lawyer in the doj suit as the suit v Epstein? I’m talking only about the Epstein suit for now.
Is that going to require OEO approval? And even if not, he is litigating against DOJ - would think we’d want to make clear this is a friendly not hostile overture.
I think a way of firmly and likely publicly staking claim (which is probably the way to go here) is to subpoena the civil lawyer in case v Epstein for deposition transcripts and other materials.
had asked for a memo, which we’ve had draft. We’ll review this morning and circulate. As discussed, we’re also in touch with FBI - they are in the process of pulling/reviewing the old case file. Can we plan to touch base on this and a few other outstanding issues this morning?
