From: To:' Subject: RE: OPR's Epstein Report. Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2021 19:39:06 +0000 Note, M , that as far as we know, nobody in Congress admitted to releasing (or leaking) the report, and you shouldn't state that Congress did. Closest any media (that I've seen) came to attributing the release to Congress is noting that DOJ stated (per the 11/12 DOJ press release) that "The Privacy Act prohibits the Department from releasing the full report publicly, but permits the report to be disclosed upon request to a congressional committee with jurisdiction over the matter, and this has been done." .. . and then — lo and behold! — it was "obtained" by various media outlets. E.g.: Report was "obtained by The Associated Press" (per AP on 11112) and was "obtained by NBC News" (per NBC News on 11/13) and was "was made public Thursday" (per ABC News on 11/16) and was "obtained by The Daily Beast" (per Daily Beast on 11/16). It was also "obtained" by the NYT and WaPo and others. "[Sen.] Sasse, who had pressed the Justice Department for more than three years to investigate the handling of Epstein's charges, demanded that the agency release the report. Although the department didn't do so, the Miami Herald and its parent company, McClatchy, obtained a copy on their own." Also: "A summary of the report was issued last week. The fuller document, provided to members of Congress, who requested the inquiry, was obtained by the Miami Herald and its parent McClatchy." Note, too, that the CVRA appellate case petitione sought to supplement the 11th Circuit en bane rehearing ed. record with the OPR report, but the court declin to o so, on grounds that the reconsideration was limited to two issues: whether the victims' rights act applies before charges are filed against a defendant and, if so, whether violations of the act can be enforced with an independent court action.
