Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel — the Miami U.S. Attorney’s office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epstein’s sweetheart deal in 2007, newly released documents show.
A tranche of over 8,500 pages of records from Epstein’s estate — released by the House Oversight Committee Friday — show that Epstein’s calendars and emails reflect that Menchel, who left the DOJ in 2007, had multiple meetings or dinners with Epstein in 2011, 2013 and 2017. Lawmakers also referred to a photograph of Menchel on a ski trip with Epstein sometime in the 2000s, but didn’t produce the photo.
It’d better be one hell of a dinner and ski trip for me to compromise like that piece of scum did.
I guess I just value my moral code - and career- more highly than this Menchel character. You want me to give you a comfy plea deal? Ok. You’re worth billions. I need to retire after this, without raising suspicion.
Fucking dinner and a ski trip?
I think someone also got like 20 million a year from Epstein for “tax consulting” which might have been this guy but I’m not sure.
They are definitely getting more than a dinner.
I think tax consulting is what epstein’s cover was.
“Besides Acosta and Menchel, the case was overseen by prosecutors Jeffrey Sloman, Andrew Lourie and Ann Marie Villafaña.”
“when Menchel explained to her in an email that he had offered the deal to Epstein lawyer Lilly Sanchez, the only woman involved in Epstein’s defense. Villafaña felt it was an end-run around her, the report said. The report also noted that Menchel had dated Sanchez, should have informed his bosses about it and probably should have been recused from the case.”
I’m having trouble finding the actual documents. Anyone know how to find them or have a link?

Probably in there somewhere.
But where? I went to the oversight committee’s page and I couldn’t find anything. I’ve only been able to find articles about what’s in there.
I swear I looked:
