Summary

An email chain between the FBI Litigation Support Unit and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the Epstein investigation discovery process. The correspondence spans from January 2019 to October 2020, discussing the transfer and scanning of evidence, specifically 'boxes of materials from Florida' and clarification on whether 29,000 pages of documents were fully transmitted. A specific inquiry is made regarding CDs found in the evidence boxes, which appeared to have been photocopied rather than digitally extracted.

Hi [Redacted],
Hope you’re doing well. As our team is reviewing these materials in connection with discovery, we wanted to follow up with you about this project. In particular, we were hoping you could tell us how your office approached CDs that were in the boxes of materials from Florida. We noticed in the scans we received some documents that looked like the attached file — which looks like a photocopy of the CD. Were those materials downloaded by your office? If not, no worries at all, we have them from the primary file, but we wanted to check with you to make sure we had the complete set of materials you sent.
Thanks very much,
[Redacted]

Hi [Redacted],
Wanted to quickly check in to follow up on our conversations last week and earlier this week – I think you were able to transmit the scanned records to [Redacted], but I’m not sure whether that was just the 16,000 pages you mentioned when we last spoke, or if you were able to get all 29,000 to her? And we’re also hoping to confirm for sure that all the materials you received were definitely scanned in, and to get an index or catalog of those materials (including what media was included).
Another person on our team, [Redacted], who’s copied, is jumping in to coordinate on this, so if it’s easier to chat via phone her number is [Redacted], and please let us know if anything would be helpful on our end.
thanks again!
[Redacted].

[Redacted],
Following up on our conversation from yesterday, wanted to send a quick email as promised so you have my full contact info – I’m reachable at this email address or by phone at [Redacted]. Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime day or night if we can provide any useful info, or if you have any questions at all, and we appreciate you talking with us about the records information. Let us know if it makes sense to set up another call for Friday or early next week to check in on the questions we had, and thanks very much for your help.
thanks again,
