SDFL U.S. Attorney's Office considers itself fully conflicted and walled off from any investigation in connection with Epstein (due to factors including the non-prosecution agreement and the ongoing lawsuit against the district arising from the initial investigation).
We wanted to expedite and elevate that issue as soon as possible, so we asked our Criminal Division chief to reach out to SDFL and she called their criminal chief this afternoon.
