Hi Emily, I reached out to our Information Management Division who manages The Vault to see if they could provide some insight on the best approach to searching for Epstein documents. Unfortunately, there are 921 sections of documents, and the separate sections for this group of files are not searchable separately, so you would need to do an initial search and then go through each hit page by page.¶

Thank you again for your time this afternoon.¶
Below are the referenced documents we are looking for:¶
https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/jeffrey-epstein-became-an-fbi-informant-to-secure-sweetheart-deal-and-shut-down-federal-probe-into-t.2613501/¶
O Jeffrey Epstein managed to shut down a federal probe into his illicit and illegal activities with underage girls and secure his sweetheart plea deal by providing information’ to the government, FBI reports confirm.¶
O A federal investigation into the pedophile led by the FBI was closed out on September 18, 2008 when Epstein ‘provided information to the FBI as agreed upon’ according to the case agent.¶
- The actual FBI documents we are looking for are inside this article.
O A newly released FBI report shows that at the time the non-prosecution deal was executed, the agency was interviewing witnesses and victims “from across the United States.” The probe stretched from Florida to New York and New Mexico, records show. The report was released by the FBI in response to a lawsuit filed by Radar Online and was made available on the bureau’s website after the Miami Herald and other news organizations submitted requests, said Daniel Novack, the lawyer who filed the Freedom of Information Act case pro bono.¶
Warmly,¶
