That sounds fine, thanks, we’ll do that. And we planned to request return / destruction of prior discovery immediately upon the entry of the nolle.¶

It sounds like has already reached out to you and will be handling from Civ Div. To the extent you feel a need to respond at all, proposes something along the lines of the following:¶

Your August 20, 2019, requests for disclosure made pursuant to the Department of Justice’s Touhy regulations will be handled by AUSA of our Civil Division, copied here. Please note that in light of the death of the defendant and in anticipation of the entry of the proposed order of nolle prosequi, no further productions will occur in the context of the criminal case of United States v. Epstein, 19 Cr.490.¶

Also, asked if we planned to claw back the discovery already produced? My recollection is that under the terms of our protective order, we’re entitled to, and, if so, it’s probably a good idea…¶

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.¶
