Summary
This document is an email chain from August 10, 2019, detailing the internal confusion and communication breakdown within the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The correspondence reveals that the USAO was receiving updates slower than the press, causing frustration as defense counsel demanded information about the 'apparent suicide attempt' and subsequent death that officials did not yet have. The chain tracks the timeline from the initial report of a suicide attempt/ambulance transport to the confirmation that he had 'passed away.'

As you might imagine, we are getting increasingly frantic calls from defense counsel who continue to be seeing information in the press that we—the U.S. Attorney’s Office—haven’t yet received. We need to know as soon as possible the very basic facts, such as time and cause of death at the absolute minimum. It has now been hours since this was reported publicly. Please advise when we can expect to receive either a written report on those basic facts or when we can have a call to get that information to relay to his counsel. It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to tell them that we have less information than the press. Please advise.

FYI:
The BOP just informed us that Epstein is being taken by ambulance to the hospital from another apparent suicide attempt- no other information was provided.
