Hi
I am sending the 6(e) letter to the Chief Judge in a moment. Attached please find 6(e) notification letters for all three additions, who I've added to this email chain. I'm also cc'ing the other two AUSA5 assigned to this matter.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best,

New York, NY 10278
Hi
Thank you very much. Quick follow up question - do you know when the date of appeals expires for Maxwell?
Thanks.
Hi
Maxwell has until April 10, 2025 to file a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court. If she files a writ (which seems likely), it will remain pending until the Supreme Court either grants or denies certiorari, which could take months.
If the Supreme Court denies certiorari, then that will conclude her direct appeal (though she will have the option of seeking habeas review under 28 USC 2255 within one year of the denial of certiorari). If the Supreme Court grants certiorari, then her case will be briefed and calendared for oral argument, and we'll likely have to wait about a year or so for a ruling from the Court.
Thanks,
Hi
Thank you for your time. The relevant case numbers for determination if we need 6(e) letters are:
50D-NY-3027571- the main Epstein case file. 31E-MM-108062- Miami Epstein Investigative file. 90A-NY-3151227- Epstein death investigation 90C-NY-3154599- Possible- MCC corruption case.
If you could provide a POC for the prosecutors of the other cases it would be greatly appreciated so I can reach out to them regarding 6(e) material.
Sincerely,
Hi
I consulted with my supervisors, and our office understands Rule 6(e) to require that any agent who receives access to grand jury material must (1) be included in a notification to the Court in the relevant district, and (2) receive instructions from the relevant USAO about grand July secrecy.
Based on that understanding, we propose the following for each case you listed:
• For 50D-NY-3027571 (the main Epstein case file) and 90A-NY-3151227 (Epstein death investigation), please send my supervisor, Rob Sobelman (cc'd), the names and email addresses of all personnel who will be given access to the file. Rob will handle the 6(e) process for each new name you provide and will continue to do so as you send him new names throughout the review process.
• For 90C-NY-3154599 (MCC corruption case), our understanding is that this case focused on bribery and contraband smuggling in the MCC unrelated to Epstein. The defendants prosecuted in that case included violent gang members, and none of the conduct had any connection to Epstein to our knowledge. We do not understand why this case would be part of the review, and we would have a number of concerns about witness and cooperator safety if this file were to be released. If it turns out this file needs to be reviewed
EFTA01649057
as part of this projectMan handled the 6(e) letters, but we would ask to discuss with the relevant decisionmaker before this case file is included in the review, please.
• For 31E-MM-108062 (the Miami E stein Investigative file), my contact at SDFL was who I believe is the SDFL's West Palm Beach office. His email address is and his work phone is
To reiterate our prior request, we ask that the case agents and/or line AUSAs who handled the New York Epstein/Maxwell investigation be permitted to propose protections for victim information before any new material is released to the public. We also ask that a process be considered, consistent with the Crime Victim Rights Act, for providing notice to victims that materials relating to them may be released to the public.
Thanks,
