Summary

This document is an email thread from September 2020 between attorney Jack Scarola and the US Attorney's Office (USANYS). The discussion concerns locating a 2009 deposition transcript from a civil case against Jeffrey Epstein ('[Redacted] vs Epstein'). Since the court reporting service and videographer could not locate the original records, Scarola provided detailed notes taken by paralegal Mike Danchuk, describing the testimony as revealing Epstein's pattern of grooming and victimization. USANYS also mentions coordinating with Epstein Estate attorneys Marc Weinstein and Andrew Tomback to obtain the transcript.

Jack,
Thanks for speaking with me earlier today. The attorneys I mentioned are Marc Weinstein and Andrew Tomback, who represent the executors of Epstein’s estate. I’ve provided them with your contact information, and as we discussed, they will likely be in touch to discuss whether you have any objections to them providing the transcript to us.
On this subject, I wanted to let you know that our communications with the estate’s attorneys about your client have been limited to our request for the transcript. We have not shared any details regarding your client or her cooperation with our investigation.
Thank you,
[Redacted]

Jack,
Are you able to tell us whether there was a protective order entered in the civil suit, or any other type of agreement that would govern disclosing materials from the civil case with us? When you shared the deposition, we assumed there were no such restrictions, but I wanted to check.
Thanks,

Jack,
Thanks for your email. We will likely reach out to your adversary in the deposition to ask for a copy, but I wanted to check to see whether you had already done so.
Thanks,

Subject: Fwd: 12/04/09 [Redacted] vs Epstein Deposition Transcript
The email exchange below confirms our inability to locate the first volume of [Redacted] deposition. However, attached are fairly detailed notes of Paralegal/Investigator Mike Danchuk, who attended the deposition and recorded these notes contemporaneously. [Redacted] appears to have held nothing back, and the notes certainly paint a picture of the kind of troubled young women who were particularly susceptible to Epstein’s pattern of recruitment, grooming and victimization.
