Description

The request for preservation of all records related to Epstein's detention and death could be interpreted as a way to ensure transparency and prevent any potential cover-ups, which could be related to blackmail or coercion if such activities were occurring.

can I inform the other lawyers who like me have prior privileged communications with Mr Epstein that are contained in emails and/or documents on his computers and phones that there will be no review of the content of documents and emails whether they are on computers/phones seized in the VI or NY or NJ before a taint team is put in place and we are advised of the identity of the taint prosecutor so we can communicate to him/her the list of attorneys for whom the privilege is being asserted?

Mr. Epstein's family has asked me to send to you and at the MCC a request for the preservation of any and all documents, records, reports, videos, pictures, physical evidence, electronic communication data, tape recordings, logs, notes, papers, emails and any and all other forms of information that would be in the possession of the MCC, its Warden, their legal counsel, the USMS, the FBI, the Inspector General, the USAO for the SDNY or any other federal or relevant state or city agency that relate to Jeffrey Epstein's imprisonment/detention since July 6, 2019 and that relate particularly but not exclusively to the July 23, 2019 occurrence which was investigated as an attempted suicide by the MCC and the events relating to his death on August 10, 2019.
