Re: 
Federal Grand Jury Subpoena 
Dear Jim: 
A new grand jury has been 
aneled and I have enclosed a new subpoena for 
. As I mentioned earlier, Ms. 
is not a target of this investigation and the United 
States seeks her testimony solely as, a victim/witness. During our last conversation regarding 
Ms. 
, you indicated that she was unwilling to speak with us pursuant to a Kastigar 
letter and that she also was unwilling to speak with.the grand jury and intends to invoke the 
Fifth Amendment if questioned. Please confer with her to confirm whether this remains her 
position. If it is, please advise in writing. Even if Ms. 
is inclined to invoke her Fifth 
Amendment rights, she must still appear pursuant to the subpoena so that I may ask her 
questions that would not require the invocation of the Fifth Amendment. If she still invokes, 
I intend to move to compel her answers. If you or your client is unavailable on February 6, 
2007, please let me know of another Tuesday when you are available. 
I also am concerned about a potential conflict of interest in your representation of Ms. 
M . In case of future litigation regarding this issue, please provide me with information 
regarding who is paying (directly or indirectly) for your services on behalf of Ms. M, 
the 
scope of your representation and whether you are taking .direction on this matter from 
anyone other than Ms. 
If any formal or informal joint defense agreements exist, 
whether in writing or otherwise, please provide a copy of such agreements. If the agreement 
is purely oral, please provide a written summary of its terms.

Re:

Dear M, 
I received your letter dated January 24, 2007 with regard to 
. I must admit I forced 
myself to wait several days to respond inmtder to "cool. off' and not say anything I would regret 
later. 116W thatiime has passed; allow ma to respond appropriately.

• . . • 
d. 
1. • If you want to force Ms.• M, 
a single mother, to come to the grand jury room to 
personally invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, she will be there: That does remain her position. 
My only request is that syr it.rovide a babysitter service for her child. I will be there, but I am not 
paid to babysit and Ms. 
should not have to
 someone. It is this type of attitude, that your 
office refuses to accept the fact that it is Ms. 
decision not to cooperate with the government 
that upsets her. Your office fails to recognize that merely coming to court is a problem for a single 
mother like Ms. 
and, under these circumstances, appears to be a waste of time at best and, in 
her mind, personal harassment. 
2. Rest assured that there is no conflict of interest in my representation of Ms. 
. In this 
case I have always been asked and always will exercise independent judgment to follow my client's 
independent will. The remainder of your questions as to this matter are really none of the 
Government's business. 
3. I will share with you that one of the reasons for our firm position that Ms. 
will 
invoke her Fifth Amendment right and choose not to voluntarily cooperate with the Government is 
our concern that the Government is not exercising independent judgment in this case. 
The hiStory of this case his been in the:newspapers., The case is being prosecuted in State court.

described as a public rampage in the newspaper when the case was not prosecuted to his liking that 
reminded me of a small child having a public temper tantrum. In my thirty years of experience, I 
have never seen a law enforcement officer like this publicly make what appeared to be a political 
case in the newspaper for a prosecution and publicly criticize anyone who got in his way, including 
the elected State Attorney. This resulted in a federal investigation on a topic no one remembers the 
Federal Government ever being interested in prosecuting before. Although I am certain that you 
personally have not had your decision-making process compromised, the appearance that your office 
is being influenced by the Town of Palm Beach Police Chief's agenda is very real. Under these 
drcumstance4 don't see how any lawyer; could advise• any client to voluntarily cooperate. Of 
special contact is that the Town of Palm Beach Police have promoted prosecuting at least one of the 
girls who allegedly gave massages. 
One final thought. My client and my fear that Ms. 
could be prosecuted is enhanced by the 
demand for the personal appearance made in your letter. Your initial Kastiger letter fell far short 
of granting the functional equivalent of DOJ immunity. Several months ago I was given the distinct 
impression through our conversations that you were going to obtain DOS immunity for Ms. 
Now the government is changing course for no apparent reason. This leads to speculation that the 
only reason for the turnabout is that prosecution in either state or federal court is being considered 
by someone. 
None of the above directed at you personally. I want to repeat that you have always treated us with 
respect. jvlaybe 
ur, office should advise the Town Police Chief to act in a similar fashion.

documents, records or other tangible evidence within your custody or control relating to the matters 
about which you are questioned. You will neither attempt to protect any person or entity through

No statements provided by you on this date in this matter pursuant to this agreement will be

of this agreement, all statements made by you shall be admissible in evidence against you in any 
proceeding. 
The federal government remains free to use information derived from the grand jury 
testimony directly or indirectly for the purpose of obtaining leads to other evidence, which may be 
used against you. You expressly waive any right to claim that such evidence should not be 
introduced because it was obtained as a result of the grand jury testimony. Furthermore, the federal

or indirectly therefrom for the purpose of cross-examination, if you testify at any trial or if you

Re:

Dear Mr. Eisenberg: 
I am writing to clarify the ground rules for the interview with your client 
("your client"), to occur February 
, 2007. 
As I mentioned earlier, Ms. 
is not a target or subject of this investigation, but 
instead is being interviewed solely as a victim/witness. However, to address your concern 
about criminal exposure, if your client complies with every provision of this agreement, then 
the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida ("this Office") will 
treat all statements made by your client during the interview as statements made pursuant to 
Rule 11(f) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. This is not a grant of immunity, 
which can be given only with approval of the Justice Department, but protects your client 
from having the statements made by her during the interview from being used against her 
directly. To guard against any misunderstandings concerning the interview of your client, 
this letter sets forth the terms of this agreement. 
Your client agrees to be fully interviewed, that is, to provide information concerning 
your client's laniviledge of, and participation in criminal activity, including but not limited 
to the procurement of prostitutes. The protection of this letter applies to an interview that 
will be conducted by this Office, Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 
any other federal law enforcement agency this Office may require. Under this agreement, 
no information disclosed by your client during the interview will be offered in evidence 
against her in any criminal or civil proceeding, provided that your client complies with this 
agreement and that the information your client furnishes is truthful, complete, and accurate. 
If, however, your client gives materially false, incomplete, or misleading information, 
EFTA00185334

JAMES L. EisENBERo, ESQ. 
RE:

PAGE 2 
then this Office may use such information in any matter or proceeding and your client is 
subject to prosecution for perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to 
government agencies. Any such prosecution may be based upon information provided by 
your client during the course of the interview, and such information, including your client's 
statements, will be admissible against your client in any grand jury or other proceeding. 
The government also may use statements made by your client in the interview and all 
evidence derived directly or indirectly therefrom for the purpose of impeachment or 
cross-examination if she testifies at any trial or hearing, and/or in any rebuttal case against 
your client in a criminal trial in which she is a defendant or a witness. These provisions are 
necessary to ensure that your client does not make or offer any false representation or 
statement in any proceeding or to a government agency or commit perjury during any 
testimony. 
Your client further agrees that attorneys for the United States may be present at the 
interview, and agrees not to seek disqualification of any such government attorney from any 
proceeding or trial because of their participation at the interview. 
The entire agreement between the United States and your client is set forth in this 
letter. No additional promises, agreements, or conditions have been entered into and none 
will be entered into unless in writing and signed by all parties. 
If the foregoing accurately reflects the understanding and agreement between this 
Office and your client, it is requested that you and your client execute this letter as provided 
below.

Re: 
Grand Jury Subpoena for 
Dear MO 
AsakvayS, it was;a pleasure speaking to you the other day. Pursuant to. our telephone conference 
I am writing this letter to.proffer my:concerns for 
should she testify without immunity 
before a federal grandjurt.:Tberefore, allowme to reiterate at Ms.:Ivallerwill refuse to voluntarily 
cooperate with the federal government She has a good faith basis for her position under the Fifth 
Amendment to the United States. Constitution. 
We, of course, do not live or work in a vacuum. We have read many inflammatory remarks the 
Town of Palm Beach Police Chief has made to the media about the state court's handling of the 
Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The police chiefs remarks frighten both myself and my client. I am 
aware that the town police have prepared documents to charge at least one of Mr. Epstein's lady 
friends in state court. If they can push to have one lady charged I remain unconvinced that they do 
not have the ability or political clout to push to have other ladies such as Ms. 
charged. 
The proffered facts that raise my concerns are being provided via this proffer letter. Pursuant to our 
telephone conference agreement, this letter and its contents cannot be used against Mr. 
Ms. 
is not at all certain of dates. She does remember meeting Mr. Epstein about three years 
ago. She is not certain of her age, it could have been when she was sixteen. A girlfriend asked her 
if she wanted a job giving massages. Ms. 
agreed because she had knowledge of massages 
through her mother, who was a masseuse. 
Ms 
went tolvtrEpstein?s house via taxi. Ms. 
girlfiiendinstnieted Ms: 
that, 
if asked,. she had to tell Mr.Epstein that she 
- was eighteen. years old. The.II. was 
nineteen years old and 
looked old forher age, so passing for eighteen was not a problem. At

the home Ms. net 
Mr. Epstein and later gave him a massage. The friend had told Ms. 
to give the message topless. Mr. Epstein told 
that if she were at all uncomfortable. 
topless, not to do it and it was not a requirement o employment as a masseuse. Ms. 
ever 
touched Mr. Epstein in a sexual way and Mr. Epstein never touched Ms. 
t all. 
one point, 
Mr. Epstein did ask Ms. =her 
age. Ms. =insisted that she was et teen years old. 
Ms. =continuqd to see Mr. Epstein over time and massages were given in a similar fashion. 
She was later asked if her friends wanted to work in a similar way and she asked some girls who did 
give Mr. Epstein massages. Ms. 
was never asked to bring girls of any age to Mr. Epstein's 
home. When she did have her friends ome over, she instructed all of them that if asked, they insist 
that they were eighteen years old. She is not certain at all of any of these girls' real ages. 
In summary, our concern is that if the government believes that Mr. Epstein committed some federal 
offense, Meals. =could he considered a co-conspirator. We believe no crime was committed. 
The Fifth Amendment was not intended to protect the guilty, however. It was enacted to protect 
citiwms who fear prosecution notwithstanding their innocence. Our fear of any prosecution, 
especially ' 
f the Town police chiefs public remarks, is clearly in good faith.

Petitioners, 
vs. 
UNITED STATES, 
Respondent. 
DECLARATION
E. 
declares as follows: 
I. I am a Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and have been so 
employed since 1997. I am currently assigned to the West Palm Beach office of the FBI Miami 
Field Division. 
2. In 2006, I was assigned as the case agent in an investigation into allegations that 
Jeffrey Epstein had engaged in unlawful sexual contact with girls under the age of 18. The case 
was called Operation Leap Year. FBI Special Agent 
and I conducted most of the 
investigation, and worked with the U.S. Attorney's Office, on Operation Leap Year. 
3. Over the course of the investigation, the FBI obtained hundreds of documents through 
the use of grand jury subpoenas, public records, and law enforcement databases. FBI agents 
conducted interviews with females believed to have been sexually abused by Mr. Epstein and 
underage at the time of the assault, as well as other individuals who might have relevant 
information. The interviews are memorialized and prepared by the interviewing FBI agent. The 
interview reports of the young women interviewed contain highly personal and intimate details, 
EFTA00185343

Respondent's Exhibit A 
Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA 
which would cause embarrassment to the young women if disclosed to third parties. For those 
interviewed who did not reveal any intimate details, many will be displeased if their cooperation 
with the FBI is made public. In my experience, individuals are reluctant to cooperate with law 
enforcement for fear of being singled out, harassixl, embarrassed, or subjected to retaliation if 
their cooperation is disclosed to third parties. 
4. The case file on Operation Leap Year also contains FBI agents' analysis of 
information obtained during the course of the investigation. 
These written analyses of the 
evidence reveal potential theories of criminal liability based on the evidence uncovered in the 
case. Information contained within FBI investigative files can also reveal sensitive FBI 
investigative and operational methods, procedures and techniques. While it is publically known 
that the FBI conducts investigations into the type of criminal wrongdoing committed by Jeffrey
