Hi Ruth,

Thanks for the information.

Tomorrow (3/18) we will be filing a pleading in which we mention AUSA Bruce Reinhart’s apparently improper representation of Epstein-related witnesses. I assume that doing so publicly will not compromise your inquiry.

We look forward to hearing from you as a soon as possible about the results of your inquiry. Thanks for your help. Paul Cassell

Mr. Cassell, I received your voice mail and thought that I should respond by email to be sure you get a timely answer with the time difference it can be hard to get in touch.

I understand from AUSA that he confirmed to you that he sent your complaint and request for an investigation to OPR. We will therefore consider you a complainant in the matter. Your complaint is being handled within the normal process here at OPR. It has been opened as an inquiry and assigned for review. It is not an investigation.

We will contact you if we need further information and/or to inform you of the results of our review.
