Summary

This document is an email chain from December 6, 2018, between NY Post reporter Susan Edelman and Danny Frost, Director of Communications for the Manhattan District Attorney. Edelman questions why the DA's office sealed documents in the Epstein case rather than filing a redacted brief, accusing them of covering up facts. Frost responds that sealing is routine practice under Civil Rights Law § 50-b for sex crimes but confirms the DA's office will not oppose a petition by the Post to unseal a redacted brief.
