Event Details

This document is a 'Hammad Memo' dated August 14, 2019, from the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) requesting permission to interview three inmates housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at the MCC. The investigation concerns the death of Jeffrey Epstein and potential criminal negligence/falsification of records by MCC staff on the night of August 9-10, 2019. The memo argues that interviewing these represented inmates is legally permissible because they are witnesses to the Epstein event, which is separate from the criminal cases for which they have counsel.
