Reuters reporter Mark Hosenball forwarded the release to redacted individuals (likely at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of NY), noting 'Senator just put this out.' The statement quotes Sasse emphasizing that while the arrests are important, the primary goal should be prosecuting Epstein's co-conspirators.
EFTA00031010.pdf
An email dated August 19, 2019, requesting car service to transport a female witness involved in the Epstein death investigation.

This document is an email thread among US Attorney's Office (SDNY) staff regarding a court order from Judge Engelmayer in the case of United States v. Justin Rivera. The Judge required the BOP to explain why Ghislaine Maxwell (detained at MDC) received significantly better access to legal counsel and laptops than Rivera (detained at MCC), specifically citing 'terrible optics' and potential disparity based on class/race. The emails detail the drafting of a declaration to explain that the differences are due to Maxwell's protective custody status and the sheer volume of discovery in her case, compared to Rivera's placement in the general population.
EFTA00029971.pdf
Memorandum Opinion and Order by Judge Alison J. Nathan dated August 25, 2020, denying Ghislaine Maxwell's requests to immediately disclose the identities of three alleged victims and to be released into the general prison population. The court ruled the request for victim identities was premature as discovery had just begun, and found that the Bureau of Prisons was already providing sufficient access to legal materials (13 hours a day). The court ordered the Government to provide status updates on Maxwell's confinement conditions every 90 days.

The defense requests Avenatti be moved to the general population and granted standard access to legal materials and communication. The text alludes to 'recent issues at the institution,' likely a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide at the same facility months prior.

This document is a Court Order from Judge Alison J. Nathan dated May 14, 2021, denying Ghislaine Maxwell's request to modify the frequency of flashlight safety checks during the night at the Metropolitan Detention Center. The defense argued the checks occurred every 15 minutes and disrupted sleep, while the Government maintained the checks were necessary for safety due to Maxwell being housed alone and the high-profile nature of the case. The Court ruled the request unsubstantiated but urged the MDC to consider ways to reduce sleep disruption for pre-trial detainees.

The correspondence involves the US Marshals Service (USMS), the US Attorney's Office (USAO), and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)/MCC New York. The thread reveals significant confusion and frustration within the USAO, as officials complain that the BOP issued press releases about Epstein's death before providing basic facts to the prosecutors, leaving them unable to inform Epstein's defense counsel or family. The timeline moves from an initial report of an 'apparent suicide attempt' at 7:52 AM to confirmation that he 'passed away' by 8:46 AM.
