| Re: Grand Jury Appearance |
I’ve learned from Mr. Epstein’s attorney that the plea is scheduled to take place on Monday morning. In understand, of course, that you need confirmation of this before withdrawing the subpoena, but it might make logistical sense to consider putting the contingent appearance off for another week at this point, to avoid our having to make an unnecessary trip to Florida. Although I am confident that things will proceed as scheduled, should there be a problem, we would then be able to appear at a later date.¶

Dear Mr. White:¶
If Mr. Epstein enters a guilty plea in accordance with that agreement on Monday, then the subpoena will be withdrawn. At this point, I have not received confirmation that the change of plea is going to occur, nor have I received information confirming that the plea will be in conformance with our agreement. As such, at this time, I still intend to present Ms. testimony to the grand jury on Tuesday. With respect to the immunity question, I refer you to my e-mail of June 23rd, which is shown below.¶
If the situation changes, I will contact you.¶
Thank you.¶

Dear Ms. Villafana:¶
I understand that there has been a recent development with respect to Mr. Epstein in that he intends to plead guilty in Florida state court on Monday pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement with your office that has already been executed. Since this would seem to obviate any need for Ms. to testify, please let me know what is going on with respect to this Tuesday. Do we still need to come down there and, if so, will she receive court-ordered immunity? Thanks.¶
