Thanks guys - all very helpful. I’ll tell we don’t confirm or deny investigations but off the record caution him about mirroring this daily beast story.¶

I just talked to SA who has the Epstein case out of our West Palm Beach office. He advised that recently he met with the civil attorney Brad Edwards who is handling the lawsuits filed by several girls against Epstein. He said he might have information regarding Jean Luc Brunel and his modeling agency, but we are waiting for him to provide the name of a victim, if there are any that want to come forward or any information that might lead to a spin off case. As of today, we do not have an open case on Brunel. Thanks.¶

HI Laura – I am forwarding your email to the AUSA and FBI for response. I told the reporter to call you, as he was talking about a DOJ investigation.¶
Re DSFL, I told him we neither confirm nor deny…¶

Any idea if its true that there is an ongoing investigation? CNN just called and if this is completely untrue, I want to wave them off reporting that he is under investigation (without of course actually confirming or denying the existence thereof.)¶
