Memorandum seeking Travel Authorization 
Operation Leap Year 
Dote 
June 20, 2008 
TO 
Rolando Garcia, Deputy Chief 
Criminal Division 
Karen Atkinson, Chic

From 
A. Marie Villaf 
Assistant U.S. A 
I. 
INTRODUCTION 
This memorandum seeks travel authorization to travel to New York from June 19 to June 20, 
2008, in connection with Operation Leap Year. 
II. 
THE PROPOSED TRAVEL AND ITS PURPOSE 
As you know, we plan to present a final indictment to the grand jury in approximately two 
weeks. Since our original planned indictment, we have learned about a series of victims in New 
York and the 
ssible involvement of Epstein's two New York-based assistants, 
and 
The inclusion of New York victims would be a great benefit to the indictment, and 
we would like to interview some key people in New York in order to include that evidence in the 
indictment. 
Accordingly, I propose to travel to New York on the afternoon of Thursday, June 19 to 
conduct interviews on Friday, June 20, 2008.' FBI Special Agents Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason 
Richards also will be traveling, although they may stay longer. 
First, we would like to interview 
She has been identified by two victims 
as someone who recruited numerous others to Epstein's New York residence. We know that Lacerda 
was going to Epstein's home when she was 14, and it is possible that she was going there as early 
as 13. This trip is contingent upon approval from the Justice Department of our immunity request 
for Lacerda. Yesterday I spoke with someone at the Witness Immunity Unit who stated that we 
'I may decide to stay in New York on Friday night in order to see a college friend. If I do, 
I will pay for the hotel room on Friday night and any difference in the airfares.

should have the approval by early next week.' 
In addition, a witness here in the Palm Beach area came forward recently to inform the FBI 
about a link between Epstein and the MC Modeling Agency. The witness stated that Epstein and 
the head of MC2, Jean Luc Brunel, worked together to obtain fraudulent visas to bring potential 
models to the United States. The witness stated that Epstein selected some of the underage girls to 
come to the United States even though Brunel never intended to use them as models so that Epstein 
could engage in sexual activity with them. Brunel's name appears on several of the message pads 
recovered during the search of Epstein's home. Some of the messages describe young girls that he 
would like Epstein to meet (including a I6-year-old who would "teach Russian" to Epstein). The 
FBI previously tried to interview Brunel, but he refused to speak with them. The Palm Beach 
witness has told the FBI that a former MC2 employee is willing to speak with the FBI about the 
fraud. 
Yesterday, the FBI in New York arrested two Bear Steams employees for securities fraud 
related to Bear Steams hedge funds involved in the subprime loan crisis. Epstein has been reported 
as one of the creators of those hedge funds in financial news sources. The agents here are contacting 
the New York agents to determine if Epstein is a target/subject of the New York investigation and 
also to find out whether the two employees are cooperating and would be willing to speak with us. 
For the foregoing reasons, I recommend that the Office approve the costs of a hotel room and 
a flight for my travel to New York. 
'-Travel plans will not be made until the immunity is confirmed.

We will not be interviewing 
in New York. Her attorney gave a copy of the grand jury subpoena to 
Epstein's lawyers. They, in turn, promptly sent it on to Washington complaining, yet again, about me. So, I do 
not want to do an interview with him present, and we will have to put her in the grand jury. 
Given that, let's take the New York section out of the indictment so we can present the indictment Tuesday 
morning. Then we can do 
interview in the afternoon with plans to supersede. It probably makes sense 
to wait on the rest of the interviews until we hear whadMI has to say, so let's plan to do the New York trip 
in a few weeks. 
Bob — I will revise everything accordingly and send it down to you. We have another girl from Florida, so I 
will replace our New York Jane Doe with her.

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. Lacerda to testify, please let me know what is going on with

Dear Mr. White: 
Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be 
reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers. 
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her 
anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the 
limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide me 
with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to 
criminal liability, then I can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an

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, 1 still intend to present Ms. Lacerda's testimony to the grand jury on Tuesday. With respect to the 
immunity question, I refer you to my e-mail of June 23Id, 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. Lacerda 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.

Dear Mr. White: 
Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be 
reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers. 
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her 
anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the 
limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide 
me with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to 
criminal liability, then 1 can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an 
attorney statement made in the course of confidential plea discussions and related negotiations, and would be 
governed by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(0 and Fed. R. Evid. 410.

We will be there, and I will make the travel arrangements. I am assuming that this will be done in connection with an 
order of immunity. Please let me knoie if that is correct so I can advise Ms. Lacerda. Thanks.

Dear Mr. White: 
k t • 
Ms. Lacerda will need to appear before the grand jury on July 1st to give testimony. Please contact my 
assistant, Shawn Ball, at 561 820-8711, ext. 3037, to make travel arrangements. I expect that Ms. Lacerda's 
testimony will begin either in the late morning or early afternoon, but she should be available for the whole 
day. 
Thank you.

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 
pulling 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.
