The document discusses whether it is possible for a sitting president to be indicted in the United States. It points out that there have been six instances where this question has been addressed through internal memos and briefs filed in litigation, and the government's position on the matter is not as clear-cut as often presented. The most recent opinion on the matter came from the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in 2000, but it is not binding on state prosecutors. The document argues that these issues are not foreclosed and highlights the complexity of criminal proceedings against presidents and vice presidents.

The document is a letter from attorney Martin G. Weinberg to John Zucker, Assistant Legal Counsel for ABC's Office of Legal Counsel, regarding an upcoming interview with Jane Doe 3 on Good Morning America and Night Line. The lawyer represents Jeffrey Epstein and believes that the airing of the interview will be grossly negligent or worse because the accusations made by Jane Doe 3 are uncorroborated, have been refuted by other credible evidence, and were previously considered immaterial and impertinent by a federal judge in a pending litigation. The lawyer also mentions that Jane Doe 3 refused to cooperate with an FBI investigation into Mr. Epstein eight years ago.
