From Subject: Friday update Importance: Normal Priority: Normal Sensitivity: None Good evening all, Happy New Year! I hope you managed to enjoy today's snow day. Thanks to our team in the NYOC for dealing with the variety of weather issues we have faced recently, including the messaging for today's storm. I also want to take a moment to thank our outstanding team in Health Services for dealing with the recent surge in Covid cases. They have done a great job working with individual employees while also helping our executive management team sort through the frequently changing policies around the pandemic. And thanks to the folks in Facilities for dealing with the continuous sanitization needs that follow every new case in the office. The numbers of Covid cases in our office are as high as they have ever been during this Pandemic. Fortunately, the cases have been mostly mild and we are not seeing the same increase in hospitalizations. We have however had some employees who were very ill so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they recover. The rapid spread of the new Covid variants warrants continued adherence to our safety protocols, so please be sure to use a mask in the office and if you are exhibiting any symptoms, please stay home. We are currently collecting birthday cards for daughter, has been dealing with medical issues and has been in the hospital on and off for the past few months. This is a chance for us to let and the rest of the family know we are thinking of them. If you want to send a card, please drop it off with by Monday, January 10th.

She engaged in these horrific acts with her long time companion, Jeffrey Epstein. As you have likely heard, we are working with the Southern District of New York to investigate recent media reporting regarding some of the jurors in this investigation. I do not know if this will have any effect on the prosecution of Maxwell. Regardless of these issues, however, I want to commend the incredible work by C-20 to investigate both Maxwell and Epstein. C-20's efforts demonstrate clearly that we are committed to protecting the victims of crime, regardless of how much time has passed or how much effort is required. Protecting the rights of victims must always be a priority for us, in every investigation and for every violation we work This is particularly true for the work done by our Crimes Against Children task force. Thanks to C-20 for your hard work, dedication, and for helping to seek justice for these victims. Have a great weekend. EFTA00109135
