Re: Request for Information Relating to Jeffrey Epstein¶
Dear Mr. Glassman:¶
I write in response to your letter dated June 8, 2020, seeking documents from the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to Jeffrey Epstein and plaintiff Jane Doe in Jane Doe v. Indyke et al., No. 20-cv-484 (S.D.N.Y.). Your request is governed by federal regulations, referred to as “Touhy regulations.” See United States ex rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462 (1951). Pursuant to these regulations, the Acting United States Attorney has authorized DOJ to provide certain documents responsive to your request. Please find electronic versions of these documents enclosed. The password for these documents will be sent to you by separate cover.¶
The enclosed documents are as follows:¶
-
Pages numbered USDOJ_0001-0040 are invoices from FedEx Corporation. Information therein has been redacted to exclude references to third parties.
-
Pages numbered USDOJ_0041-0052 are documents obtained through electronic search warrants. Information therein has been redacted to exclude references to third parties.
-
The page number USDOJ_0053 is a photo obtained through a physical search of Jeffrey Epstein’s residence.
Pursuant to the applicable Touhy regulations, DOJ cannot provide any documents in its possession governed by the grand jury secrecy rules set forth in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e). See 28 U.S.C. §16.26(b)(1). Please contact me once you have had a chance to review this letter if you would like to discuss the issues herein further.¶
