Evidence is 2 external hard drives. Drives are not encrypted and already processed by NYCART. Case squad is working through taint review process. This is assuming we are all talking about the same evidence. I don't have the 1B numbers the EAD was shown to confirm with NY beyond the emails below. If we can get those, we can go further.

When we came back a week later they were missing. The individual that took them was contacted and brought them over right away. The drives are not encrypted to my knowledge, they are with being processed. We are going through the taint process due to the potential for privileged information. EFTA00161360 From: .

SB BI " . DO FBI " (OTD) (FBI)" (OTD) (FBI)" All, This morning the DD was interested in a set of specific evidence related to the Epstein investigation. ADIC mentioned to the DD about evidence that was received from a 3rd parties residence (mid to late July). The residence owner turned it over uickly and stated that he didn't want to have anything to do with it after it was placed there by an associate. indicated that the drives recovered appeared to be encrypted. The evidence sheets provided to the EAD do indicate media that was received on 8/16, but no mention of encryption, or whether they were associated with this residence. Can we get some clarification? The DD, as well as ADIC and CID, are inquiring about the prioritization of the exploitation of that media, specifically since it may lead to co-conspirators which has the attention of the AG. EAD is requesting that OTD be on standby for additional questions as this appears to be a focus today.
