Thanks. Would you open a new matter on this, it may end up being substantial.¶

Subject: Re: Epstein Estate Touhy Requests¶

: could you kindly assign an AUSA to be the point of contact on Epstein-related Touhy requests?¶

We can then discuss what the appropriate response may be. Thanks, as always, for your help on these issues.¶

Subject: FW: United States v. Jeffrey Epstein, 19-CRIM-00490 (S.D.N.Y.)¶

• We continue to get document requests from Epstein’s defense team related to his death. How would you like us to handle? Should we refer them to someone at Civ Div? Ignore? There is, as best I can tell, no right to anything given that there is no “proceeding” pending related to the death but, in any event, our crim AUSAs are presumably not the appropriate point of contact.

We received the attached document requests from Epstein’s lawyers. Based on our previous conversations about this, it sounds like these should be routed to the civil division, but I wasn’t sure who in particular to contact, or whether you would prefer to make the referral.¶

Thanks,¶

Please find attached correspondence for your attention. We intend to serve these requests separately on the MCC and the FBI, but are providing you with copies of all three letters as a courtesy. If you are willing to accept service for all three, we will not otherwise serve them.¶
