The squad has definitely been taking advantage of this time to review digital evidence, warrant returns, subpoena returns, prison calls, etc. However, this issue is a CART backlog problem. is assigned to this matter, as well as the Epstein and cases, both high priority matters with a mountain of forensic evidence to process. CART is only in the office 1 or 2 days a week so I’m not surprised that there is a delay. I will reach out to and get a status and see what solutions may exist.¶

I spoke with SDNY. No issues with the team. The question was asked about the progress of the electronic downloads from all the electronic media obtained from the searches. Evidently, there is a backlog and much of the downloads have not been completed. The idea was that given the FBI’s and SDNY’s office work reduction, this could be a good time for the case team to be doing taint review and other electronic search reviews. I agree. I know other squads are using this time to review search warrant returns, TIII data, etc.¶
I don’t know if Steve is assigned to this case as well. But, can you find out the status of CART and their ability to process the search warrants for this?¶
Thanks,¶
