This document contains an email chain from August 10, 2019, between officials at the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)/MCC regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The correspondence reveals significant frustration from the USAO that the BOP issued a press release confirming the death before providing official details to the prosecutors, leaving them unable to update Epstein's defense counsel. The emails also discuss a suspicious incident where an individual claiming to be an MCC investigator called Epstein's associates attempting to arrange the release of the body, which officials suspected was a hoax and required FBI/DOJ-OIG intervention.
