From: To: Cc: "Ferrer, Wifredo A. (USAFLS)" Subject: Contact from Vanity Fair re Epstein related to Conflict of Interest Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:42:04 +0000 Importance: Normal Hi — I received the following voicemail from Vanity Fair magazine this morning. As per usual, I will leave it to you to respond. This is a transcription so if it reads strangely, that is why: Yes, Assistant U.S. Attorney This is John Connelly from Vanity Fair Magazine. I think I tried to talk to you a couple years ago about a guy named Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, ummm I need to speak to you or maybe somebody if you are uncomfortable speaking to me totally on background your public information office because something has come to me which is a bit troubling about the U.S. Attorney's decision to not prosecute Jerry Jeffrey Epstein as long as he took that plea where he was allowed out of his cell 16 hours a day 6 days a week not a bad deal umm but is has to do with the relationship of your former AG and Mr. ummm Epstein's lawyer. It seems as though there was certainly a possible conflict and I need somebody to talk to about that whether it is you or anybody else I don't care. John Connelly. Vanity Fair Magazine. I really appreciate your call and off the record I heard you did great work on that case. Thank you so much. Assistant U.S. Attorney EFTA00208292
