Dear Mr. Acosta, Thank you for your time on the call yesterday regarding the Epstein matter. We have reviewed the government's position carefully and wish to propose the following framework for resolution. Our client is prepared to enter a plea to a single state charge in Palm Beach County. In exchange, we request: 1. No federal charges will be filed against Mr. Epstein 2. The agreement will include a provision protecting any potential co-conspirators from federal prosecution 3. The terms of the agreement shall remain confidential 4. Mr. Epstein will register as a sex offender as required by Florida law We believe this framework serves the interests of all parties. A prolonged federal prosecution would be extraordinarily costly for the government, would subject alleged victims to extended and invasive cross-examination, and the outcome is by no means certain given the evidentiary challenges your office has acknowledged. Our legal team — including Mr. Dershowitz, Mr. Starr, Mr. Lefcourt, and Mr. Black — remains prepared to vigorously litigate every aspect of this matter if we cannot reach a reasonable accommodation. As you are aware, we have already identified significant legal vulnerabilities in the government's case. I am available to discuss this framework at your earliest convenience. Very truly yours, Jay P. Lefkowitz Kirkland & Ellis LLP
