I've had several dealings with [Redacted] who is pretty responsive. I don't recall having had many dealings with the other EOUSA FOIA attorneys/specialists.

Thanks, [Redacted] could you please check your records and let us know if there are any other cases? From [Redacted]'s list, it seems like at least one case is missing (there is a civil case involving a FOIA request from Radar Online).

As we just discussed:
Here is what we have in our FOIA tracking database regarding Epstein FOIAs.
And also attached is the letter in PPI about discovery vs FOIA (see p. 8)

Hi [Redacted],
Hope you're doing well. [Redacted] and [Redacted] and I are trying to assemble a list of every FOIA request our office has ever received (at any point) relating to Jeffrey Epstein and/or Ghislaine Maxwell. [Redacted] suggested that you'd be the best point of contact to help us figure this out. Could you please send us the following information:
• A list of all FOIA requests our office has received;
• For each case, whether a production was made in response to the request; and
• Who the AUSA point of contact for the request is.
• For each case, whether a production was made in response to the request; and
• Who the AUSA point of contact for the request is.
That would be a big help. Please let us know if you need any information from us to run the search.
