Notable Quotes 3
It is frankly unbelievable to me that BOP is issuing public press releases on this before telling us basic information so that we can relay it to his attorneys who can relay it to his family.
As you might imagine, we are getting increasingly frantic calls from defense counsel who continue to be seeing information in the press that we—the U.S. Attorney's Office—haven't yet received.
Separately, and speaking of the FBI investigation, defense counsel also says that they're starting to get people calling them who claim to have information relevant to Epstein's death, and are wondering if there is an investigative point person to whom they can direct any such people?
Red Flags 3
- Hoax calls to Epstein's associates claiming to be from MCC
