Summary
This document contains an email chain between the US Attorney's Offices for the Southern (USANYS) and Eastern (USANYE) Districts of New York regarding inmate Johnny (Jhonny) Contreras. Contreras's attorney, Andrew Patel, informed the government that Contreras was housed across the hall from Jeffrey Epstein in the MCC SHU at the time of Epstein's death and was willing to speak to investigators about his observations, though he did not witness the hanging itself. USANYS agents interviewed Contreras on September 3, 2019, and noted that an FBI form 302 report would be generated.
