Summary
This document is an email chain from August and September 2019 between attorney Andrew Patel (representing inmate Johnny Contreras) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY). The correspondence arranges a 'proffer session' meeting on September 3, 2019, for Contreras to speak with investigators about Jeffrey Epstein's death. Contreras was reportedly housed in the MCC SHU on the same tier and across the hall from Epstein when he died and, while he did not witness the hanging, he offered to share his observations.
