FBI --- UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO TRANSITORY RECORD His This case is still an ongoing active investigation. It's tough to say how much longer we anticipate it will be ongoing. It's quite possible it could continue for quite a while. I know that's not a great answer for you, but I do foresee it continuing for an extended period of time at this point. If that changes, I can follow up and let you know.

FBI --- UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO TRANSITORY RECORD Good Morning IM We are still rolling through this FOIA litigation on Jeffrey Epstein, and have been withholding everything in full b7A, per our last correspondence. We wanted to reach out regarding the status of the investigation. I realize this may be a tough ask (and there isn't a crystal ball to look into), but do you foresee this investigation will be ongoing for an extended period of time? Reason I am asking is we have roughly 8-9 months of material left to "process", but if there is a chance the investigation will close before then, we will look into a way for us to expedite our litigation so we won't have to go back through everything and re-process. Can you advise on the status of the investigation and if you foresee this will be ongoing for another 8-9+ months. Thanks and feel free to call with any questions BU/RIDS/IMD— FBI / FF-03 From: (NY) (FBI) Sent: Monday, August 19, 2019 4:17 PM To: ; BYRNE, PAUL W.

FBI --- UNCLASSIFIED//FOLIO Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO TRANSITORY RECORD Hi I= Thanks for reaching out. Because our case is linked to the Miami case and our case is still pending further investigation, any information released could harm our ongoing investigation. Respectively, we'd request that you withhold all material per Exemption b7A.

FBI --- UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Importance: High Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO TRANSITORY RECORD Good afternoon NY C-20, Information Management Division (IMD) has been processing a FOIA litigation on Jeffrey Epstein on a 31-MM- 108062 file. Prior to our August 1" release, we have been processing the records and making monthly releases (the vast majority of the material was withheld). We have since categorically withheld the material per FOIA Exemptions b7A and b7B (...on records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information (b7A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (b7B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication). Before moving forward, we would like you to weigh in on: 2. Is there any harm into your investigation with continuing to process and make releases from the 31-MM- 108062 file? 3. Would the release of any additional material from 31-MM-108062 reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings; therefore, we would categorically withhold all material per Exemption b7A.
