This document appears to be page 64 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (Edward Jay Epstein is the author of this book, explaining the 'Epst' filename, though the content is about Snowden, not Jeffrey Epstein). It details Edward Snowden's initial encrypted communications with filmmaker Laura Poitras in January 2013 under the alias 'Citizen Four,' noting that Snowden falsely claimed to be a senior government official while actually working as a Dell contractor. It also discusses Poitras's history of surveillance by U.S. authorities following her 2006 filming in Iraq.
