Jill,¶
Just to clarify, would it be possible for you to provide us even a very general or high-level summary of what she has told you? We ordinarily don’t go into interviews completely blind when witnesses have counsel – and the Weinstein investigation had a great number of problems that we have been able to avoid. And separately, we’ll of course keep you updated on our approval process as well.¶
thanks again,¶
Thanks¶
I am afraid that an attorney proffer will not be possible. I have been working with the DA in New York on the Weinstein case and have simply offered up my clients to questions which has worked well.¶
I am of course happy to speak over the phone but it seems to me that you are better off getting the information first hand. If you wish it may be sensible for you to initially have a call with my client?¶
My client has made a complaint to the Met police regarding a sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein whilst in London and in the employment of G Maxwell. Apart from the complaint itself, no further information has been provided to the police.¶
I appreciate the issue re coronavirus of course.¶
Kind regards,¶

Jill,¶
That’s great, thank you for letting us know, and we’ll check on that right away and get back to you as soon as possible. The only wrinkle, which unfortunately is completely beyond our control, is that there is now some talk of government¶

international travel being prevented due to the coronavirus situation, but we’ll talk to the relevant people here immediately.¶
One thing that would be extremely helpful for us in the near-term, including in terms of getting approvals here – and we talked about this on the phone as well – would be to get an attorney proffer about your understanding of generally what information you expect your client will convey on the subjects we’ve spoken about? We completely understand that it’s best to have her tell her story directly to us, but in terms of our preparation it’s often very useful for both us and the witness for us to have had a conversation with counsel in the first instance. Would it be possible to set up a call to have that discussion? We could do as soon as tomorrow or Friday, or also next week.¶
Thanks very much,¶
Jill,¶
We wanted to quickly follow up since I think you and I last spoke a little over a week ago—understand if you are still discussing with your client, just wanted to check in, and we’re happy to provide any additional information that might be useful, as always.¶
thank you,¶
