Here are the updates from the agents, from a follow up call we just had:¶
-
They confirmed it was a CBP hit specific to Epstein (the hit included his tail number). They’re working with CBP to see if they can get confirmation tomorrow, after the flight takes off, that he is on it. If that doesn’t work, we discussed reaching out to FAA re: the manifest.
-
They’re in contact with CBP in Teterboro and have already discussed logistics. Apparently, the typical procedure (even for private flights) is for the passengers to get off the plane, go to a room in the airport, and be processed by CBP there. The plan is for CBP to detain Epstein when this happens, and our agents will then take him into their custody. They plan to attempt interviews of all other passengers on site.
-
Following the arrest, if it isn’t too late, agents will leave the airport and head out for approaches. If it’s too late, that will happen Sunday morning instead.
-
Our agents are handling approaches of [ ] (at the NYC address, to rule it out for the traveling teams) first, then [ ], then [ ], then [ ]. Another agent on the squad will drive to CT for [ ].
-
They’re going to hold off on the NYC approaches just emailed about. Those will happen maybe Monday, but more likely Tuesday.
-
and are likely going to be flying out to Florida to join the approach teams on Wednesday. I told them we are on deck to get on a flight on short notice for any interviews with victims who are willing to come in and talk.
