We only have a couple of other directions to follow up on and it is related to developing a separate subject involved with Epstein. By the time the FOIA processing is completed we should have those outstanding leads resolved. Thanks.

In the event the file is processed it would still be available for division review (Miami, Tampa, or both) of RMD's proposed redactions before any release was made.

If you could provide that (such as: it would discourage witnesses, hamper the gathering of leads, endanger informants, etc.) that would be great. Otherwise please let me know who I can contact in Tampa who might be able to help.

From• Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 2:52 PM To: Subject: RE: 31E-MM-108062 --- UNCLASSIFIED EFTA02730475 Classification: UNCLASSIFIED St This is in regards to Jeffrey Epstein, a main subject of the file above. Mr. Epstein has made three Freedom of Information Act requests for his FBI file since 2010 and has appealed our latest denial in December 2012 to Dors Office of Information Policy. As such I am required to verify that the case remains pending. For RMD to be able to deny processing the file there must be potential prosecutive action remaining, such as continuing appeals, rather than simply remaining pending awaiting destruction of evidence.
