Summary

This document is a chain of internal emails between the FBI and DOJ from September and October 2020. The correspondence concerns the review of a draft report by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) regarding the Southern District of Florida's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation between 2006 and 2008. FBI officials, including a Unit Chief and Special Agent, are coordinating to review the report specifically to ensure its release does not compromise their '7A stance,' which refers to FOIA Exemption 7(A) protecting ongoing law enforcement proceedings.

Mr. [Redacted] –
EFTA00038159
Attached is a letter from Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) Director [Redacted], transmitting to you, for a sensitivity review, OPR’s draft report in the Southern District of Florida’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter during 2006-2008. We’ve found that the draft report is too large to email, so will set it separately in two parts. We ask that it be treated with confidentiality. The letter is self-explanatory, but please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
With regards,
[Redacted]
Counsel
