Hi — This is why I don’t want to ask for more time. The only way that I have to defend myself is through the court system.¶

— This just arrived. Why do they always wait until 2 minutes before their deadline to contact us???? I did not fail to call her back, I referred the matter to you. Can you please handle this. Making clear that all allegations raised by Epstein’s team were investigated by DOJ and found to be completely meritless. You might also add that Epstein had previously made false allegations against the Palm Beach Police Chief.¶
I would love to know how they got the letter, but they probably will not tell you their source.¶

Dear Ms. —¶
I am an editor at both Newsweek and the Daily Beast website. I left a phone message last week but have not received a call back. Now we are facing a deadline for posting on the Daily Beast tonight, so I’d like to give you another chance to respond to our query. We have obtained a five-page letter you wrote to attorney Jay Lefkowitz on December 13, 2007 protesting charges of misconduct on your part and laying out several details about your interactions with Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team. Your co-signer, Alex Accosta, has already acknowledged the viiidity of this letter, but I would also like you to¶

confirm that it came from your office. If you have any further comment to make about it or facts to add about this case I would love to hear back from you right away. We plan to post a story about the negotiations behind the Non-Prosecution agreement at 8 pm this evening.¶
Thank you for your time and prompt attention, Lee Aitken¶
