Do you have time for a call to discuss a victim who recently came to our attention with connections to the Epstein/Maxwell case? To be clear, we aren’t suggesting investigating Maxwell for more crimes, but this victim has identified other potential traffickers, and we think it makes sense to do a bit of due diligence before deciding what, if anything, we should do with this information.¶
Thanks¶

I just spoke with and she gave permission on behalf of to share details of our investigation with you. Happy to chat tomorrow morning if you’re available?. Tomorrow afternoon I’m in court and I’m out of the office on Friday and Monday.¶
Thanks very much, and just for full context, my understanding is that from SDNY let Jeanne know last week that we were deconflicting with your office so she is aware of that.¶
She had reached out to our Office and given some high level overview but to avoid raising or clients expectations I was hoping to try to evaluate whether we’d be inclined to investigate the conduct before circling back to with any direct inquiries. If Jeanne is willing to allow you to share interview notes or something similar, that would be super helpful.¶
