Summary

This document is an email chain from March and April 2021 between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and legal counsel for the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein (Marc Weinstein and Andy Tomback). The correspondence discusses scheduling a conference call and clarifies the Estate's assertion of attorney-client privilege. Specifically, the SDNY asks if the Estate asserts privilege over a computer originally seized by the Palm Beach Police Department in 2005 (now in FBI possession), to which Weinstein confirms the Estate does assert privilege.

Marc and Andy,
I’m writing to ask for one point of clarification regarding the estate’s position regarding the assertion of attorney-client privilege. You previously conveyed to us that the estate asserted privilege with respect to devices the FBI seized from Jeffrey Epstein’s residences in New York and the USVI in 2019. We accordingly assembled a firewall team to conduct a privilege review of the contents of those devices.
The FBI is also in possession of a computer that the Palm Beach Police Department seized from Epstein’s residence in Palm Beach in 2005, which our office has not reviewed. Is the estate also asserting privilege with respect to devices such as this one that were seized in Florida in 2005?
Thank you,
EFTA00026910
