THE PROPOSED TRAVEL AND ITS PURPOSE As you know, we plan to present a final indictment to the grand jury in approximately two weeks. Since our original planned indictment, we have learned about a series of victims in New York and the ssible involvement of Epstein's two New York-based assistants, and The inclusion of New York victims would be a great benefit to the indictment, and we would like to interview some key people in New York in order to include that evidence in the indictment. Accordingly, I propose to travel to New York on the afternoon of Thursday, June 19 to conduct interviews on Friday, June 20, 2008.' FBI Special Agents Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason Richards also will be traveling, although they may stay longer. First, we would like to interview She has been identified by two victims as someone who recruited numerous others to Epstein's New York residence. We know that Lacerda was going to Epstein's home when she was 14, and it is possible that she was going there as early as 13. This trip is contingent upon approval from the Justice Department of our immunity request for Lacerda. Yesterday I spoke with someone at the Witness Immunity Unit who stated that we 'I may decide to stay in New York on Friday night in order to see a college friend. If I do, I will pay for the hotel room on Friday night and any difference in the airfares. EXHIBIT B-132 Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-008379 EFTA00225378
