From To Cc Subject: RE: Jeffrey Epstein island search UPDATE Date: Fri, 02 Aug 2019 17:40:34 +0000 Importance: Normal For everyone's SA. • NY has a planned conference call with SDNY on Tuesday to discuss probable cause re Little St. James (LSJ) island. The results of that meeting will be significant re the scope and timing of a search. • I had a good call with and this morning. CBP has agreed to support re transportation between St. Thomas and LSJ. We just need to provide specs on the anticipated weight of equipment and number of people. Once we get into next week, we'll address the personnel count. thoughts on equipment weight? It's likely a standard search so we'll have paper, boxes, tape, digital evidence, cameras, other small misc items...and the water. But, I don't anticipate heavy containers/equipment. Are we missing anything here? • team has a very good relationship with the hotel industry and has engaged Marriott so we shouldn't have a problem with lodging. is still working to determine if we have USG lodging available on St. Thomas. NOTE: Due to the hurricane, the options on St. Thomas are still very limited. • warned us about the need to prepare for the intense heat and humidity. We'll be searching indoors so that will provide significant relief but we'll anticipate moving significant cases of water from St. Thomas to LSJ. We'll give update after the Tuesday meeting. Thanks again to 0 for the help. From: Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2019 5:24 PM To: Cc Subject: Jeffrey Epstein island search It was nice to talk to you. We will provide as much assistance as needed.

As noted, we are working to secure PC on a search warrant for Jeffrey Epstein's island near St. Thomas. We are still in discussions with the AUSAs but we believe it's likely to happen in the next 30 days. Our position is obviously the sooner the better. I'll detail a general plan below but please understand everything will be contingent upon the warrant timing and named items to be seized. Also, we recognize this is your AOR and has final say on the plan so we look forward to working with you to finalize it. I expect this to be a substantial op for the Bu but also don't want to negatively impact your normal operations. FYSA, the warrant we had for Epstein's residence in NYC was just for pictures and proof of residency but when we cleared the location we immediately observed things that gave us PC to conduct a complete search. We took 845 pictures and spent 13 hours to execute the search. EFTA00147992 SONY has preferred to isolate this case from the previous investigation 12 years ago. Did • have any involvement with that case (covering leads)? With your pending travel, just let us know who we should use as the main POC. As always, we appreciate the support and assistance.
