This document is a Memorandum of Law filed by the United States Government opposing Defendant Michael Thomas's motion to compel discovery in the criminal case regarding the falsification of records connected to the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The Government argues that it has already met its discovery obligations under Rule 16, Brady, and Giglio, and that the additional materials Thomas seeks—including OIG drafts, BOP records, and evidence of selective prosecution—are either not in the prosecution team's possession, are privileged, or are irrelevant to a valid legal defense, serving instead only to support an improper jury nullification strategy.

This document is a supplemental declaration by Russell Capone, Counsel to the Acting US Attorney, filed in response to a FOIA lawsuit by The New York Times. Capone argues that specific BOP records, including staffing rosters, psychology notes, and SHU logs from July and August 2019, must be withheld under Exemption 7(A) to prevent interference with the pending criminal trials of 'Noel' (prison guards) and 'Tartaglione' (Epstein's former cellmate). The declaration emphasizes that premature release of these documents could influence witness testimony and prejudice jury selection, particularly given the 'unfounded' media theories surrounding Epstein's death.
