This document contains a series of email communications between the FBI's New York Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence, dating from February to July 2020, details significant technical challenges in processing terabytes of data from various devices (Macs, Windows, servers, loose media) for legal discovery. Key issues include the incompatibility of forensic data with the US Attorney's 'Relativity' review platform, delays caused by COVID-19 and FBI network upgrades, and the need to identify specific device serial numbers for search warrants.
