Jay Lefkowitz → Alexandra Wolfe
Event Description
Jay Lefkowitz requests that Alexandra Wolfe submit any factual assertions about Jeffrey Epstein for review before publication, citing Epstein's history of being subject to inaccurate and misleading articles and warning against libel.
Quoted Evidence
“if you plan to make any factual assertions about him in your article, I hope you will run the facts by me, as you said yesterday you would do. Mr. Epstein has been the subject of many inaccurate and misleading articles, and I am sure Newsweek would not want to make such a mistake or worse, libel him.”
