An 86-page Justice Department prosecution memo that included details on “potential co-conspirators” of Jeffrey Epstein “mysteriously disappeared” from the DOJ’s website after the agency was asked about the document by the Miami Herald, investigative reporter Julie Brown revealed Saturday.
“Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein,” Brown, who writes for the Herald, wrote on her Substack Saturday.
“One of the documents that outlines the DOJ investigation into ‘potential co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein’ – the DOJ’s 86-page prosecution memo – mysteriously disappeared from the Government’s website this week after we asked the DOJ about it.”
The Herald published a report earlier on Saturday about the prosecution memo, which it noted had since been removed from the DOJ’s website at the time of publication. A copy of the memo, however, was preserved by Brown before its removal and contains details about potential co-conspirators of Epstein, albeit with their names redacted.
Lengthy sections of the memo are fully redacted, such as one that reads: “Evidence that [redacted] conspired to sex traffic minors, followed by more than nine pages of fully redacted text.
“Why are whole entire pages pertaining to these men redacted in the prosecution memorandum – which has now disappeared?” Brown wrote. “Where are the 302 interviews from those victims and witnesses?”
An award winning journalist, Brown is perhaps best known for her “Perversion of Justice” series, which revealed new details about Epstein’s lenient plea deal and the scope of his alleged crimes. Brown herself is mentioned in the Epstein files, such as one 2019 email where Epstein warned one of his attorneys, Martin Weinberg, that Brown was “going to start trouble” by “asking for victims.”
