Although we cannot turn back time and put the victims back in the position they would have been in over a decade ago, the government believes the following proposed remedies would respect their rights under the CVRA, balance the constitutional and statutory obligations imposed on the government, and bring some level of finality to all the parties.

The government regrets that the manner in which it communicated the resolution of the Epstein case to the victims fell short.

Regardless of what the CVRA required the government to do in this matter, the victims are right to expect better from their Justice Department.

• The government admits it should have communicated more clearly with the victims.
• The government argues against rescission of the NPA, stating it could harm victims who relied on it for civil settlements.
• The government argues against providing all information requested by the petitioners, citing law enforcement investigative privilege and grand jury secrecy.
