I just received a call from the FBI telling me that Vanity Fair is sniffing around again. The reporter is a former detective. He told the FBI agent that his sources tell him “the State has been bought off,” and asked if our investigation had been sent to “the circular file.” Nesbitt responded, “All I can tell you is that we have an open investigation.” On another note, I am going to see the grand jury tomorrow and I anticipate a number of questions regarding the status of the indictment. I'm not sure what, if anything, I can tell them. And I did not hear back regarding making changes to the indictment. Can I get some feedback on that? Thank you. A.

Sounds good. I will stop by on Monday afternoon. Could you just let you assistant know that I may be stopping by to get a copy of whatever the defense sends over? Thanks. A.

Meeting on Monday is fine. I have meetings with Alex and Jeff till around 11 but after that I’m free. As for who is going to be at the meeting from our side, I thought you, me, Andy, and Jeff. I thought it best to leave Alex out of it at this venture. As for the Epstein camp, I’m not entirely sure because I don’t think Lily was sure last time we spoke. Probably her, Lefcourt, Black and maybe Lewis. Lily told me that they wanted to present something in writing before the meeting which was why she was pushing us for the statutes. I view the meeting more as us listening and them presenting their position so I would say that you don’t need to prepare anything (you are quite knowledgeable on the law in any event) but if you disagree we can discuss on Monday. As for the documents that they have yet to produce, I’ll mention it to Lily if you like or we can raise it with them at the Tuesday meeting.

Hi Matt: I would like to prepare for next week’s meeting, and I am wondering if you can tell me who will attend, both from our side and for Mr. Epstein. I am hoping that we can meet on Monday to discuss any issues and/or strategy before the meeting on Tuesday, so please let me know when you will be available on Monday. 114 EFTA00193955
