Good Morning,¶
I’m afraid I have been unable to reach you directly by telephone but I understand that you are the public affairs official for the United States Attorney, southern district of Florida. I was referred to you by the FBI regional office.¶
I am a journalist on The Guardian newspaper in London and am trying to establish whether a fresh investigation has been authorised or launched into allegations involving Jeffrey Epstein. He was convicted in 2008 of procuring young girls for prostitution.¶
If you could confirm that, as has been reported, the FBI has launched an inquiry into the affair, I would be very grateful.¶
Many Thanks,¶
Owen Bowcott,¶
