This document is a chain of emails from August 10, 2019, documenting the immediate aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence highlights a communication breakdown where the U.S. Attorney's Office expresses significant frustration that the press and defense counsel were aware of Epstein's death before the BOP officially provided them with the details. The thread tracks the timeline from the initial report of an 'apparent suicide attempt' and ambulance transport to the confirmation that he had 'passed away'.
