This legal document is a motion filed on behalf of defendant Michael Thomas, requesting the court to authorize the disclosure of investigative and disciplinary records from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The defense seeks information about a similar incident in 2005 or 2006, where officers received lenient punishment, arguing this is relevant to Mr. Thomas's state of mind ('mens rea') for the charges he faces related to an incident on August 10, 2019.

This document is page 9 of a legal filing (Case 1:19-cr-00830-AT) dated April 9, 2020, concerning defendant Michael Thomas (one of the guards charged in the Epstein case). The defense argues for the full disclosure of the Inspector General's report, suggesting that systemic failures within the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)—such as 3,300 vacancies and overworked staff—contributed to Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, rather than solely the actions of the defendant. It references testimony by Acting Commissioner Kathleen Hawks Sawyer regarding these staffing issues.
