Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing against the government's stance that Epstein's wealth creates an irrebuttable presumption for detention. The letter proposes a forensic accounting by Joel Podgor, notes that Epstein's brother Mark is willing to secure a bond with his >$100 million net worth, clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico, defends against claims regarding an expired Austrian passport, and argues that Epstein's return to the US despite media pressure proves he is not a flight risk.

Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing that the government is incorrectly using Epstein's wealth to create an irrebuttable presumption of detention. The letter highlights that Epstein's brother, Mark, is willing to pledge his >$100 million net worth to secure bond, disputes the government's characterization of an expired Austrian passport, and clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico. The defense also argues that Epstein did not flee despite intense media pressure in late 2018 and offers a forensic accounting of his finances.

This document is a supplemental letter from Jeffrey Epstein's defense counsel to Judge Richard Berman arguing for bail. The letter attempts to rebut government claims regarding flight risk, offering Epstein's brother Mark (net worth >$100M) as a bond co-signer and proposing a forensic accounting of Epstein's finances by Joel Podgor. It also addresses the expired Austrian passport (claiming it was for protection against hijacking), New Mexico sex offender registration (claiming it wasn't required), and payments to associates (claiming they were employees, not paid-off witnesses).
EFTA00014478.pdf
This document is an internal email chain from July 16, 2019, between Assistant United States Attorneys in the Southern District of New York. The emails discuss a legal filing and quote a specific defense argument explaining Jeffrey Epstein's possession of an expired Austrian passport. The defense claims Epstein acquired the passport in the 1980s for personal protection against hijackers while traveling in the Middle East as an affluent Jewish man.

This legal document details the arguments between the prosecution (Government) and the defense regarding a foreign (Austrian) passport found in the possession of the defendant, Mr. Epstein. The defense claims Epstein acquired it from a friend in the 1980s for protection during Middle East travel and never used it, while the government argues its existence, along with stamps from various countries and its issuance under an alias, indicates he is a serious flight risk. The document also notes that the defense submitted an asset summary showing Epstein possesses over $56 million in cash.
DOJ-OGR-00000496.jpg
This legal document, filed on July 18, 2019, details arguments concerning the Defendant, Mr. Epstein's, foreign passports and the associated flight risk. The Defense claims Epstein acquired an Austrian passport in the 1980s from a friend for personal protection during Middle East travel and never used it for international entries. Conversely, the Government argues that the passport, potentially obtained under an alias, contains stamps indicating travel to France, Spain, the UK, and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s, suggesting a capacity for false identities and a serious flight risk. The document also notes Epstein's substantial cash assets of over $56 million as of June 30, 2019.
DOJ-OGR-00000452.jpg
This document is Page 8 of a defense filing dated July 16, 2019, addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman. It provides an explanation for a controversial passport carried by Epstein in the 1980s, claiming it was for protection against hijackers in the Middle East. The text further argues for Epstein's release on bail, asserting that despite intense media scrutiny (specifically from The Miami Herald) and public pressure since November 2018, Epstein traveled extensively yet always returned to the U.S., proving he is not a flight risk.
DOJ-OGR-00000437.jpg
This legal document, dated July 16, 2019, is a filing addressed to Hon. Richard M. Berman. It argues two points on behalf of Epstein: first, that certain individuals were not cooperating witnesses but rather long-time friends and employees who invoked the Fifth Amendment in prior civil proceedings, and second, that an expired Austrian passport acquired by Epstein in the 1980s was for personal protection during travel and there is no evidence it was ever used.
DOJ-OGR-00000285.jpg
This document is page 12 of a defense filing arguing for Jeffrey Epstein's pretrial release. The defense argues that Epstein's 'tier-one' sex offender status in the U.S. Virgin Islands indicates low risk, and cites legal precedents (Sabhnani, Hansen) where wealthy defendants with foreign ties were granted bail. A significant footnote asserts Epstein is solely a U.S. citizen, his only foreign residence is in France (which has an extradition treaty), and the majority of his assets are in the U.S.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031930.jpg
This document discusses the geopolitical implications of the Arab Spring, specifically drawing parallels between the Libyan revolution and the situation in Syria. It argues that while the fall of Qaddafi inspires Syrians and focuses international attention on Assad, the Syrian opposition must unify politically—similar to the Libyan transitional council—to present a viable alternative to the Assad regime and alleviate fears of sectarian chaos.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031928.jpg
This document is a reprint of a Christian Science Monitor article from August 23, 2011, authored by Bilal Y. Saab. It analyzes the Arab Spring, specifically comparing the fall of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya to the ongoing resistance of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, suggesting it was included as part of a larger investigation file, likely related to foreign policy or intelligence briefings found in the possession of the target of the investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031925.jpg
A Financial Times article by Ed Husain dated August 23, 2011, arguing that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is unlikely to face the same fate as Muammar Gaddafi. The author criticizes President Obama's decision to call for Assad's removal, suggesting it strengthens Assad's position due to anti-American sentiment in the region. The document appears to be an exhibit from a House Oversight committee investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031916.jpg
This document is page 4 of a text, stamped as evidence for the House Oversight Committee. It contains an opinion piece by Michael Tomasky (Newsweek/Daily Beast) analyzing the 'Obama Doctrine' of foreign policy. The text defends Obama's prudent, multilateral approach to conflicts in Syria and Libya, contrasts it with the 'Bush Doctrine' applied to Iraq, and mentions the control of $37 billion in Libyan assets. While part of a document dump that may contain Epstein-related materials, this specific page is political commentary on US foreign policy circa 2011.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031895.jpg
This document is a page from a House Oversight Committee file containing a reprint of a New York Times opinion piece by Roger Cohen titled 'Iran Without Nukes,' published on June 13, 2011.

While part of a larger discovery batch (indicated by the Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031895), the text itself focuses on geopolitical analysis of US-Iran relations and does not explicitly mention Jeffrey Epstein or his associates on this page.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031892.jpg
This document appears to be page 17 of a political science or foreign policy essay discussing 'Revolutionary Realism.' The text analyzes the paradox of American foreign policy, noting the tension between the U.S. role as a 'revolutionary nation' seeking global transformation and its role as the 'custodian of the international status quo.'
