Marie,¶
Does Epstein’s lawyer not want the victims to know that an agreement exists? It seems they are imposing an additional barrier, since the victims’ lawyer will be able to review the order signed by Judge Marra. Once the attorney does that, I’m certain the attorney will want to obtain a copy of the Agreement. I’m not sure how this achieves any objective for Epstein, but if they’re satisfied with that language, that’s fine. As long as the victims know there is an agreement between Epstein and the U.S. Government, I believe we have complied with Judge Marra’s order.¶

Subject: Revised Notification to Victims regarding right to see Epstein agreement.¶
Hi Dexter – In light of the complaint of Mr. Epstein’s counsel regarding my earlier notification language, I have revised it as follows:¶
In addition, there has been litigation between the United States and two other victims regarding the disclosure of the entire agreement between the United States and Mr. Epstein. Mr. Josefsberg can provide further guidance on this issue or, if Ms. Robson has selected another attorney to represent her in the context of civil litigation, that attorney can review the Court’s order in the matter of In re Jane Does 1 and 2, S.D. Fl. Court File No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA, and advise her accordingly.”¶
What do you think? This was my original language:¶
“In addition, a judge has ordered that the United States make available to any designated victim (and/or her attorney) a copy of the actual agreement between Mr. Epstein and the United States, so long as the victim (and/or her attorney) reviews, signs, and agrees to be bound by a Protective Order entered by the Court. If Ms. Robson would like to review the Agreement, please let me know, and I will forward a copy of the Protective Order for her signature.”¶
Thanks.¶
