[I had a professional association with Jeffrey Epstein when] it was my job to engage with people and companies that had serious legal and public relations problems. Many were under criminal investigation, and many had been convicted of crimes.\u00a0I did not advocate on his behalf to any third party\u2014not to a court, not to the press, not to the government. [He referred clients to me and] also informally reached out to me for advice from time to time just as he did with numerous other prominent lawyers throughout the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I have said, I regret ever knowing him, and I have enormous sympathy for the victims of Epstein\u2019s crimes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
