HOUSE OVERSIGHT 012175 KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP evidence that Mr. Epstein routinely and daily receives massages from adults. Only a small percentage of the masseuses turned out to be minors. The majority of those minors interviewed by law enforcement admitted to lying directly to Epstein about their ages (not "unbeknownst to Epstein"), and inventing further false details to substantiate their lies.

Id., p.1 The Truth: • The Deferred Prosecution Agreement was never modified by U.S. Attorney Acosta's December 19, 2007 letter. Oddly, Mr. Sloman acknowledges this on page 4 of his May 19 letter, where he writes that Mr. Acosta "proposed" this modification and that "[Mr. Lefkowitz] rejected these prop
