Thank you for your E-mail and I hope you and your family are healthy and happy, all things considered.

The Twitter event is a live event, therefore, I can only GUESS what kind of questions the public will ask of the NY Twitter site. Unlike some other offices, NY will not be planting its own questions. There is a possibility for NY to get zero questions for the duration of the chat. There is a likelihood the Twitter page will get a lot of bizarre questions unrelated to crime victim rights, in which case OPA vets those, too.

NYO press staff will vet the people asking questions and will vet the questions themselves before they answer. I'm not in control of the Twitter questions and responses. This event was designed by and is being run by the NYO. I am simply here to give OPA basic facts about trafficking and a list of referrals for available services for those seeking help, which I would give anyone at any time whether it's an agent, NGO partner, or a victim asking for help. I have approx 25 pages of referrals that are for use during this quarantine time. This list is tailored specifically for the tough times we are in (i.e. organizations that have moved to tele-counseling and other services yet are still taking intakes). These referrals, which are available on public sites, can mean the difference between life or death for some victims. If even one victim gets the critical help they need because of this Twitter event, that is something the FBI can be proud of, especially VSD.

I can also give OPA an idea of what kind of questions we MIGHT get from the public and how we MAY respond. Again, I'm not at the helm. An SA and IA will be available to provide information to OPA as well, to help them in answering legitimate Twitter questions related to their line of work and trafficking. No one other than OPA will vet or respond to any Twitter questions.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions and if I may support current or upcoming victim-support-VSD-initiatives in any way.

Regardless of whether this is a NYO sponsored event, any media requests, including social media, must be approved by the VSD HQ rep from OPA and/or AD Turman. This process has not changed.

I will need to see the Q&As for approval.

This is an NYO-sponsored event.

you could have asked me directly in order to avoid any confusion.

Hi , yes we did meet in Florida, hope you are well. Not sure how we can do that when it's a live twitter chat? I'm adding .

Subject: Re: Twitter interview tomorrow

I'm the NY VS's Program Manager at HQ. I think we met during the Epstein briefings. The question and answers need to be vetted by our AD. I spoke to Newark yesterday about this and my AD has approved Newark's but I wasn't aware of NY doing this as well.

Can you send them to me and cc ?

Thanks,



Program Manager
