Summary
This document is an email chain between attorneys at Barket, Epstein, Kearon, Aldea & LoTurco LLP and officials at the MCC. It details a formal request made on July 25, 2019, to preserve video surveillance of the hallway outside Epstein's cell during the 'incident' on July 23, 2019 (his first suicide attempt). Crucially, the top email from December 17, 2019, reveals the attorney's surprise that the video was not retained despite the previous confirmation that the preservation request had been made.

Hello [Redacted],
It was good to see you yesterday. Thank you for accommodating my visit with [Redacted] and giving him extra time to
review his discovery. We very much appreciate that.
I am writing to request the preservation of all video surveillance that captures the hallway outside of [Redacted] cell on
the date and time of the Epstein incident that is currently being investigated. I believe that the date and time is July 23
during the early morning hours. Accordingly, I would ask that all video surveillance from July 22 at 11 pm to July 23 at 4 am
is preserved. If it is your understanding that the incident occurred at a different time, please let me know and preserve the
relevant footage, including an hour before the incident and an hour afterwards. If the responding officers were wearing
body cameras that captured the inside of the cell in the aftermath of the incident, I am requesting that such footage also
be preserved.
We will be officially requesting this material through the appropriate means, but please consider this email a formal
preservation request.
Thank you.
