This included Andrew Oosterbaan - Chief of the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
He was kept in the loop on "draft indictments and the status of plea negotiations."
The DOJ's Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Chief of Staff to the Criminal Division.
He knew of potential charges, indictment changes, details w/ FL Attorney's Office, and "final revisions to indictment package."
There's more - what evidence did the FBI/DOJ have on Epstein?
An FBI file entitled “Summary of Sexual Activity,” containing an analysis of victim-specific information chart showing phone calls, travel, and grand jury evidence.
On July 15, Epstein's lawyer provided a couple more DOJ names: Alice Fisher and Sigal Mandelker.
Records show Mandelker was involved in post-plea negotiations involving the indictment.
Mandelker is currently a high-level Treasury Official.
Alice Fisher was Asst. AG at the time (2007). She had knowledge of:
1) Post-plea victim payments 2) Negotiations to change letters to victims
Starr also reached out to her in 11/2007 to complain about how Epstein's deal wasn't being followed by DOJ.
There's more.
In a 2008 letter, Ken Starr (atty for Epstein) notes that Asst. AG Alice Fisher (DC) put a stop to sending "victim notification letters" to Epstein's minor victims.
Main Justice helped sweep this whole thing under the rug.

A federal judge has ordered the unsealing of 167 Jeffrey Epstein “John Does” (from Ghislaine Maxwell’s civil case).
There’s a lot of confusion (and bad info from the media) surrounding this issue – here is some necessary context on the John Does.
Thread.
We previously charted and categorized each John Doe, and previously summarized this material back in Feb. 2023.
The majority (around 100 of 167) have been identified.
Approximately 11 of the unidentified John Does are victims.
Here are examples:
Furthermore -
Lawyers for Maxwell and Giuffre (the victim) informed the Court that quite a few of the John Does were only mentioned in passing or in a benign context.
Or that “the sealed material as to this individual is not salacious.”
