This document is an email chain from June and July 2020 regarding legal discovery requests for the Epstein suicide investigation. It reveals that the FBI and OIG seized original Control Center paperwork and watch call sheets from MCC New York shortly after Epstein's death, making them unavailable to the internal staff responding to the request. The emails also discuss 'hot lists' (which Epstein was reportedly never on) and request specific logs and policy documents related to Defendant Noel and another redacted defendant's assignment to the SHU during the time of the suicide.

The officials discuss whether they had previously been told about this sign during employee interviews, with FBI and OIG respondents stating they do not recall it.
EFTA00025278.pdf
This document is an email chain from October 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and Bureau of Prisons officials.

EFTA00025060.pdf
An email chain from October 2021 in which Jeffrey Epstein's brother (likely Mark Epstein) contacts government officials to request a copy of all records previously released to the New York Times regarding Jeffrey Epstein's case. The government officials discuss the request internally, noting that the brother needs to file a formal FOIA request with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and coordinate who should handle the correspondence since some officials are 'no longer on the case.'

EFTA00025015.pdf
This document is an email chain from January 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and BOP officials regarding legal access at the MDC. Sternheim requests permission to hand-deliver time-sensitive legal documents due to postal delays ahead of a January 25th filing deadline. The BOP official denies the request, citing policies requiring standard mail processing and a ban on visitors (likely due to COVID-19 protocols). The emails also confirm a schedule for Video Teleconferences (VTCs) for the week.
EFTA00024888.pdf
This document contains an email chain between Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and BOP/MDC officials from January 2021. Sternheim asserts that Maxwell is being targeted, physically mistreated (specifically alleging a guard squeezed her breast during a search), and denied proper food (receiving rotting fruit and meat despite a non-flesh diet). The correspondence references Jeffrey Epstein's death in custody as a reason for heightened concern regarding Maxwell's safety and requests the removal of the current guard team.
EFTA00024706.pdf
This document contains an email thread and the text of a Court Order dated May 14, 2021, regarding Ghislaine Maxwell's detention conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). Judge Alison J. Nathan denied Maxwell's request to stop flashlight checks performed by guards every 15 minutes, accepting the Government's explanation that these are necessary security protocols for a high-profile inmate housed alone. However, the Judge urged the MDC to consider whether sleep disruptions could be reduced and to ensure protocols remain neutral and necessary.
EFTA00024658.pdf
This document is an email dated July 24, 2020, from the Co-Chief of the Narcotics Unit at the US Attorney's Office (SDNY). The sender lists specific page ranges of new BOP documents that should be withheld because they might impact 'Tartaglione.'

EFTA00024400.pdf
This document is an email chain between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and the Bureau of Prisons (MCC New York) coordinating a high-profile site visit scheduled for Thursday, August 15, 2019. The visit, led by US Attorney Geoffrey Berman and Principal Deputy AG Ed O'Callahan, was specifically organized to inspect the 9th floor SHU, the 2nd floor suicide watch area, and Jeffrey Epstein's cell following his death. The correspondence highlights strict protocols, including a request that visitors be escorted only by legal staff and a refusal to speak with guards due to 'ongoing investigations'.
EFTA00024363.pdf
This document contains an email chain from August 10, 2019, the day Jeffrey Epstein died. The correspondence is between Epstein's defense team (Miller, Weinberg, Weingarten) and a redacted government official (likely DOJ/SDNY). The emails discuss the immediate aftermath of the death, including the initiation of FBI and Attorney General investigations, the lack of information regarding the cause of death or suicide watch status ('status of observation'), and a specific request by attorney Michael Miller to delay the autopsy so the defense could hire a pathologist to be present.
EFTA00023936.pdf
This document is an email chain dated November 5, 2019, with the subject line 'Epstein'. The correspondents discuss a meeting scheduled for the following day.

EFTA00023535.pdf
An email from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General (New York Field Office) dated March 4, 2020.

EFTA00023418.pdf
This document is an email chain from November 23, 2021, discussing updates on Epstein-related FOIA requests. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is receiving many new requests following a 'Times' article about Epstein's incarceration and death and plans to release records quickly. A FOIA specialist at BOP has been trying to contact Mark Epstein for about a month regarding his communications, but he has not responded, and the sender is seeking alternative contact information for him.
EFTA00023388.pdf
This document is an email chain from June 2021 between US Attorney's Office (SDNY) staff regarding a FOIA disclosure related to Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, the guards on duty during Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence details an internal request to delay the document production by one week to verify that Noel and Thomas had satisfied the interview requirements of their Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs). The chain confirms that 'The Times' (NYT) consented to the delay, the Court granted it, and the staff coordinated a review of 'newsworthy' items in the production while deciding not to notify the Epstein Estate.
EFTA00023125.pdf
An email thread from October 2021 between Mark Epstein (Jeffrey Epstein's brother and next of kin) and a government official.

The official advises him to submit a FOIA request to the Bureau of Prisons.
EFTA00023024.pdf

EFTA00022088.pdf
This document contains an annotated list of three discovery requests (dated 8/13/19 and 12/19/19) regarding Jeffrey Epstein's detention at the MCC. The text includes internal commentary (in bold italics) advising against the production of most documents—including video footage, round logs, and psychological reports—citing a protective order in the 'Noel case' and pending trial testimony. Significantly, the document asserts that logs of Epstein's phone calls and emails (Corrlinks) while at the MCC do not exist, and states he had no visitors other than legal counsel.
EFTA00022014.pdf
This document is an email chain from June 23, 2021, among US Attorney's Office (SDNY) staff. The discussion concerns a request for a one-week extension on a FOIA disclosure regarding 'Noel/Thomas' (referring to the prison guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas charged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's death). The Public Corruption Unit Chief requested the delay to verify that recent interviews satisfied the requirements of the guards' deferred prosecution agreements before releasing information to The Times (NY Times).
EFTA00021713.pdf
This document is an email chain between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and prison officials (likely BOP) regarding the conditions of Maxwell's confinement in January 2021. Sternheim complains about Maxwell being delivered late to legal calls (VTCs), being ordered to clean toilets without gloves, petty inspections for 'crumbs' on her bed, and intrusive physical searches that increase COVID risks. The prison official responds that delays were due to institutional emergencies and asserts that searches comply with BOP Program Statements.
EFTA00021015.pdf
This document is a letter from defense attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell's detention at the MDC. Sternheim argues that Maxwell requires access to a laptop on weekends and holidays to review millions of pages of discovery materials because the standard prison computers are technically inadequate, slow, and prone to crashing. The letter also alleges mistreatment of Maxwell by MDC guards, including psychological and physical abuse, and highlights that Maxwell is isolated with no human contact other than guards.
