To:Acosta, Alex(USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff(USAFLS); Senior, Robert(USAFLS); Lee,Dexter(USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen(USAFLS)
Subject:Communications from Jeff Herman re Epstein matter

Hi all – Today, Jeff and Dexter should receive hard copies of a letter I received from Jeff Herman yesterday. (Karen received her copy yesterday.) I had not intended to do much with it, but today I received a fax from Bob Josefsberg attaching a letter that he had received from Herman. I have scanned and attached both of the letters to this e-mail. In light of the two letters, I would like to get permission to contact the Florida Bar for a written staff opinion on the issue. I could only ask them to address the issue of my contacting the victims, but I recommend that we ask Bob if he wants to submit a written request at the same time regarding whether he can contact the victims.

I will note that, for those girls who we knew were represented, all communications were directed to their attorneys, and Bob J. knows that he cannot contact those girls directly.

Thank you.

Can you let me know if you have any objection to this? And, Dexter, are you willing to review my written request before it goes out?
