TRANSITORY RECORD

EFTA00172842

Good afternoon NY C-20,

Information Management Division (IMD) has been processing a FOIA litigation on Jeffrey Epstein on a 31-MM-108062 file. Prior to our August 1st release, we have been processing the records and making monthly releases (the vast majority of the material was withheld). We have since categorically withheld the material per FOIA Exemptions b7A and b7B (…on records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information (b7A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (b7B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication).

Before moving forward, we would like you to weigh in on:

  1. Is there any harm into your investigation with continuing to process and make releases from the 31-MM-108062 file?

  2. Would the release of any additional material from 31-MM-108062 reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings; therefore, we would categorically withhold all material per Exemption b7A.

Please feel free to email or call for any questions,

Thanks,

Government Information Specialist

LSU/RIDS/IMD – FBI
