Subject: RE: Statements by Mr. Tartaglione
All,
In response to your request for any statements made by Mr. Tartaglione during interviews at the MCC related to the investigation into an event involving Jeffrey Epstein on or about July 23, 2019, we are producing to you a zip folder with reports of those statements. The zip folder also contains reports of statements attributed to Mr. Tartaglione that were conveyed to MCC staff by Mr. Epstein. These materials have been marked "sensitive" pursuant to the protective order in this case and should be treated accordingly.
In response to your additional request for "all the reports and video regarding Mr. Epstein’s attempted suicide on July 22-23rd," we do not believe these materials are relevant to this case or covered under Rule 16, and therefore will not be producing them. If you would like to discuss further, please give us a call.

Thank you.
In addition to the statements attributed to Mr. Tartaglione we are asking did for all the reports and Video regarding Epstein’s attempted suicide on July 22-23rd.

Hi Bruce,
Pursuant to FOIA/Privacy Act and Touhy regulations, we need a release from the inmate, Touhy letter, and subpoena for the request to be considered locally. Please also be advised that we would have to seek authority under Touhy through the USAO.
Thank you,
