| asked me to ask you about this. The Times is hearing that there's some recent activity in the DOJ-OIG inquiry into management of the MCC that was initiated after Epstein's death. | had said a few weeks ago, in response to a CBS inquiry that I let them know about, that there's no 'new' investigation, but and colleagues are hearing there has been recent activity in the ongoing inquiry. I asked . about this Times inquiry (see below), but I haven’t heard back. I'm happy to provide whatever guidance you think appropriate. asking because he wants to keep his pledge not to discuss business when you meet. |
FYI, the Times made a similar inquiry today, although they didn’t say the investigation has been ‘reopened,’ rather that they’re hearing there’s been recent activity/interviews in connection with the investigation into the management of the MCC.¶
For your awareness, there is still an ongoing DOJ-OIG investigation that, broadly speaking, is about Epstein’s death, but the focus is on institutional failures and it isn’t new — this has been in existence and moving slowly since the day he died. Besides that, there’s nothing to this that I’m aware of.¶
FYI, a person at CBS says they have a “highly placed source” telling them DOJ has “reopened” the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death, presumably meaning someone isn’t convinced it was a suicide. I don’t think they’re close to reporting this.¶
