Notable Quotes 2
Given those provisions, as well as the importance of maintaining the security of nude images of third parties, including victims, we are not prepared to provide you with copies of nude or partially-nude images from the hard drives.
I am completely unclear as to why you informed me that there were 2,100 nude images from Epstein's devices, but this report seems to indicate there were approximately 34,000 HC images and videos. Please let me know if I am misunderstanding what you told me and if so, what the correct information is.
Red Flags 2
- Discrepancy in the number of highly confidential images reported by the FBI versus what was initially communicated to the defense.
- Difficulties in accessing and viewing discovery materials, potentially hindering the defense's ability to prepare for trial.
