This document contains an email chain between US Attorney's Office prosecutors (including Jason Swergold) and defense attorneys (Aida Leisenring) regarding discovery materials related to the 'July 23 Incident' (Epstein's first suicide attempt). The defense requests access to hallway video surveillance, photos/video of Cell 124, and physical inspection of an 'orange rope.' The prosecution confirms they are investigating if these items exist or were preserved, specifically noting skepticism about the need to physically inspect the rope.

EFTA00016763.pdf

This document is an email dated July 28, 2019, circulating a Wall Street Journal article titled 'What Jail Is Like for Jeffrey Epstein.' The text details the grim conditions at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan, where Epstein was held in 'the box' with former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione. It mentions Epstein's recent denial of bail, his move to suicide watch after being found unconscious, and complaints from other inmates and lawyers about vermin, cold temperatures, and sanitation issues at the facility.

EFTA00016736.pdf

This document is a letter from defense attorney Bruce Barket to Judge Kenneth Karas requesting an evidentiary hearing regarding the destruction of surveillance video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). The missing video allegedly depicted the outside of the cell shared by Nicholas Tartaglione and Jeffrey Epstein during Epstein's suicide attempt on July 23, 2019. The defense argues this video is exculpatory for Tartaglione's sentencing mitigation, while the Government has admitted that the MCC inadvertently preserved the wrong video and that the backup system failed due to technical errors.

EFTA00016403.pdf

This document is an email chain from December 2019 between the US Attorney's Office (specifically the Narcotics Unit handling the Epstein case) and defense attorney Aida Leisenring. The defense is requesting access to video surveillance of the hallway and Cell 124, as well as a physical inspection of the 'orange rope' related to the July 23 incident (Epstein's suicide attempt). The prosecution confirms they are investigating the existence/preservation of these items but challenges the necessity of physically inspecting the rope.

This document is an email thread from December 2019 between defense attorney Aida Leisenring and federal prosecutors (USANYS) regarding discovery materials related to the 'July 23 incident' involving Jeffrey Epstein. The defense requests access to video surveillance of the hallway, photos/video of Cell 124, and physical inspection of an 'orange rope'. The prosecution confirms they are investigating the existence/preservation of these items but questions the necessity of physically inspecting the rope.

EFTA00015994.pdf

This document is an email chain from November 2019 between attorney Bruce Barket and the US Attorney's Office (USANYS). The correspondence concerns a discovery request for statements made by inmate Mr. Tartaglione regarding Jeffrey Epstein's attempted suicide on July 22-23, 2019. While the USANYS agreed to produce reports of Tartaglione's statements, they explicitly refused to produce reports and video of the attempted suicide itself, deeming them irrelevant to the current case.

EFTA00015932.pdf

This document is an email chain between defense attorneys (Michael Bachrach and Bruce Barket) and the US Attorney's Office (USANYS). The attorneys are requesting records of statements made by inmate Mr. Tartaglione regarding Jeffrey Epstein's reported suicide attempt on July 22-23, 2019. The defense argues this is 'Rule 16' discovery material relevant to a 'penalty phase' (likely Tartaglione's capital case), while the government discusses the procedural requirements (Touhy regulations vs. Rule 16).

This document is an internal email chain from the US Attorney's Office (USANYS) circulating a NY Daily News article dated September 12, 2019. The article details a letter written by Nick Tartaglione, Jeffrey Epstein's former cellmate, in which Tartaglione denies harming Epstein and claims he was chosen as a cellmate because he would not extort him. The document discusses Epstein's suicide, the investigation into jail conditions at MCC, and Tartaglione's own legal troubles involving quadruple murder charges.
