Summary
This document is page 9 of a legal filing (Case 1:19-cr-00830-AT) dated April 9, 2020, concerning defendant Michael Thomas (one of the guards charged in the Epstein case). The defense argues for the full disclosure of the Inspector General's report, suggesting that systemic failures within the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)—such as 3,300 vacancies and overworked staff—contributed to Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, rather than solely the actions of the defendant. It references testimony by Acting Commissioner Kathleen Hawks Sawyer regarding these staffing issues.
