This is the question I’m trying to answer. Do you know what hard drives are being discussed and where they are?¶

Subject: Fwd: ACTION REQUESTED: Due-outs from DD meeting¶
EFTA00161351¶
This morning the DD was interested in a set of specific evidence related to the Epstein investigation. mentioned to the DD about evidence that was received from a 3rd parties residence (mid to late July). The residence owner turned it over quickly and stated that he didn’t want to have anything to do with it after it was placed there by an associate. Sweeney indicated that the drives recovered appeared to be encrypted. The evidence sheets provided to the EAD do indicate media that was received on 8/16, but no mention of encryption, or whether they were associated with this residence. Can we get some clarification? The DD, as well as ADIC and CID, are inquiring about the prioritization of the exploitation of that media, specifically since it may lead to co-conspirators which has the attention of the AG.¶
EAD is requesting that OTD be on standby for additional questions as this appears to be a focus today.¶
