Re: Duces Tecum Subpoena¶
Dear¶
This letter is in response to your letter of September 5, 2006 and your subpoena to the Custodian of Records, State Attorney’s Office to appear before the Federal Grand Jury duces tecum tapes and transcripts. Your letter contains a completely false assumption on your part. Please be advised that I am not a records custodian for the Office of the State Attorney. I am an Assistant State Attorney assigned as the legal advisor to the Grand Jury. The Clerk of the Court, in conjunction with the Court Reporter, maintains custody of these records. I do not possess any tapes or transcripts of any of the proceedings before the Grand Jury on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 relating to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Further, the Office of the State Attorney does not possess any tapes or transcripts of the proceedings before the Grand Jury on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 relating to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.¶
Your special agents who delivered the paperwork asked that I not disclose that I received this paperwork. However, this request is not possible as the State of Florida is a public records State. Additionally, I must disclose the receipt of this paperwork to the¶
in and for Palm Beach County, and my staff.¶
Sincerely.¶
