This document set contains an FBI Chain of Custody form (FD-340c) and images of a confiscated greeting card and envelope. The card, purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to fellow inmate Larry Nassar, contains a handwritten message alluding to suicide ('short route home') and makes provocative claims about their shared interest in 'young ladies' and references 'Our president' sharing this interest. The envelope is postmarked August 13, 2019 (three days after Epstein's death) and is stamped 'Return to Sender' due to unauthorized inmate-to-inmate correspondence. The authenticity of the letter's content vs. it being a hoax or post-mortem delivery remains ambiguous based solely on the document.

This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney (SDNY) to Judge Karas regarding the case of U.S. v. Nicholas Tartaglione. It admits that video footage requested by the defense—showing the outside of the cell Tartaglione shared with Jeffrey Epstein during the July 22-23, 2019 incident—has been permanently lost. The government attributes this loss to a clerical error in the MCC computer system which led to the wrong cell's video being preserved, and confirms the correct footage is also missing from the backup system.

EFTA00027307.pdf
The United States Government filed this Memorandum of Law in opposition to defendant Michael Thomas's motion to compel additional discovery in the case regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The government argues that it has already provided substantial discovery (video surveillance, logs, witness statements) and that Thomas's requests for Inspector General reports and internal BOP disciplinary records of other employees are irrelevant, privileged, or intended for an improper 'jury nullification' defense regarding staffing shortages. The government asserts that Thomas has failed to provide evidence for a selective prosecution claim.
