Links or attachments should not be accessed unless expected from a trusted source. ****** EFTA00084757 Good afternoon, The Office of the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit provided me with your contact information and suggested you may be able to assist my office with a request for records. Together with my colleagues AUSA and AUSA (both cc'd), I am one of the federal prosecutors handling the ongoing investigation regarding Jeffrey Epstein and prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell. We understand that evidence, including witness testimony, relevant to our investigation may have been presented to a grand jury in your courthouse in connection with the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. How might our office obtain a copy of any transcripts, records, and related materials from those grand jury presentations? When seeking such items from state courts in New York, we regularly obtain unsealing orders from a federal judge in our district. Would such an order suffice for your court, or are there other procedures you would like us to follow? We are happy to have a phone call to discuss this request if that would be useful. I can be reached by email or at the phone number below. Thank you very much for your assistance. Best, Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of New York New York, NY 10007 EFTA00084758
