Notes

Parent agency overseeing the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida. The NPA was negotiated under DOJ authority, and Epstein's defense attorneys appealed 'at higher levels within the Department of Justice' when initial negotiations stalled in January 2008. The identity of DOJ officials involved in reviewing or approving the NPA remains an open question in Investigation 01.
