DOJ Epstein Files, Data Set 8 (EFTA00013434)

Updated version attached. Let me know if you’re good with this, and I’ll send a pdf to defense counsel. FYI I’ve changed the cc line, since BSF is now in theory counsel of record in the case, and we’re not sending this to them.

In case it’s useful while we’re troubleshooting this issue today, I’m attaching the working draft. We’ll let you know if we find additional authorities on this or obtain different guidance

We’re working on drafting a letter in response to the attached, and wanted to give you a heads up. We hope to have a draft for you this afternoon, in the hopes of sending the draft to defense counsel tonight as part of the meet-and-confer directed by Judge Nathan. I think that leaves sufficient time for filing tomorrow.

Although we’re mindful of third party privacy interests, for non-parties who are neither witnesses nor victims in the case, I do have concerns about entertaining redaction/intervention requests, given the high volume of people who may ask to be heard or assert a right to review and redact documents if this were entertained.

Thanks,

Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of New York One Saint Andrew’s Plaza New York, NY 10007
