Summary
This document is a chain of emails between the FBI (NY Field Office/CART) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the chaotic processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein. The US Attorney's office complains that over 1.3 million documents were provided in a disorganized manner, with emails unlinked from attachments (specifically citing flight records as an example of unlinked data), making review impossible. The FBI cites technical issues, including a network replacement where they were mandated to delete 400TB of old data, and clarifies that some evidence originated from a July 2007 search.
