Summary

This email thread from December 2019 is between a government official (Alex) and legal counsel for the Jeffrey Epstein estate (Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP). They discuss the logistics of providing search warrant returns/inventories from the 'now-defunct criminal case' to the estate trustees, specifically regarding properties in New York and the island. The emails also coordinate a future meeting to discuss resolving the government's potential forfeiture claims against the estate.

We're not yet exactly sure what our ability is to provide to the Trustees what is effectively discovery in a now-defunct criminal case against Epstein himself; that said, I can convey that we did produce to defense counsel detailed search warrant returns in connection with the New York property. Perhaps you would be able to obtain those from Epstein's criminal defense counsel? In particular I believe what you're looking for would be especially at USAO_4381-4445, but potentially also USAO_2662-4380 (though I note that a handful of those pages were marked as Confidential under a protective order, as set forth in the discovery letter sent to counsel on July 31, 2019). We will also review the status of the search warrant return with respect to the island property (and we have not searched the New Mexico property), and I hope this is useful in the interim.
Separately, I've conveyed your request for a meeting to discuss the possibility of resolving the Government's potential forfeiture claims, and I haven't yet gotten a response to relay but will let you know as soon as I do (and will also provide these dates in connection with your request).
thanks,
Alex.
