Event Details

This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney (SDNY) to Judge Karas regarding the case of U.S. v. Nicholas Tartaglione. It admits that video footage requested by the defense—showing the outside of the cell Tartaglione shared with Jeffrey Epstein during the July 22-23, 2019 incident—has been permanently lost. The government attributes this loss to a clerical error in the MCC computer system which led to the wrong cell's video being preserved, and confirms the correct footage is also missing from the backup system.
