TRANSITORY RECORD¶
Good afternoon,¶
Due to the recent indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, which acknowledged the current investigation, we will have to change our current approach. We plan on categorically denying the records under b7A. I attached a copy of the b7A letter for you to take a look at. Please let me know if you have any concerns about this approach.¶
Thank you,¶

Please see below responses to questions asked. Information released could potentially harm this investigation as this investigation was newly opened.¶
- What is the current status of the pending investigation (e.g., investigation is ongoing, awaiting U.S. Attorney decision to prosecute, trial is pending, an appeal from the trial is pending. etc.)?
This New York investigation was recently opened and is currently PENDING.¶
