Re: Guidance NEEDED - 50D-NY-3027571 - 1B Items

Good morning, Sir,

BLUF: IMD RIDS requests guidance redacting photographs - who is protected under this transparency task?

As mentioned before, we need guidance to redact 1B items. IMD-RIDS is requesting clear and consistent guidance to process 1B Items. There are several boxes that need to be process and the sooner they have clear and consistent guidance the sooner they will start processing those items.

50D-NY-3027571 - 1B Items contain photographs of multiple individuals to include the subjects of this investigation (Epstein and Maxwell).

IMD-RIDS needs clear and specific guidance to redact those photographs. Some photographs depict: victims, unknown-unidentified females and males, former U.S. Presidents, Secretary of State, and other celebrities.

The software does not have IA facial recognition to assist with the identification of some of public officials and celebrities.

Please advise how would you like the team to move forward.

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Do we have clear guidelines for redacting images?

FBI NY Criminal Division

Hi Chad

Would it be possible to obtain guidance from DOJ regarding the redaction of images (see details below). Redacting victims is clear, but other images of unknown or knowns individuals is the area needing guidance.

████ has reached out to DOJ ██████ on two separate occasions but has not heard back from her.
IMD is pending guidance on redaction requirements.

Happy to discuss further when you have a moment to speak. Thank you

HI

Chad and I spoke with the GC earlier this morning on 1B matters, to include media as well as anything extracted from OTD. Guidance now is to move forward in the main investigative files (documents) and to not apply redactions to media. That said, we will need our OGC reps to start preparing a second memo specific to the media, i.e. that FBI is providing 1B materials without redaction — and all the associated legal authorities and constraints for awareness.

NY-CID-IMD redacting teams should continue with redactions of text.

Apologies for the delay. It took a minute to load my profiles here.

For clarification — additional guidance needed.

IMD-RIDS requests further clarification, in reference to media/photographs depicting Child Erotica and porn.

*****Please advise if child erotica and porn material will not be redacted from 1B items.

Thank you.

Best,

None of it is CSAM? Just child erotica?

I am tracking 1B136 contains CSAM. We should consult with Case Agent and TFO Case Agent for clarification and assurance.

The images that have been brought to my attention only Child Erotica.

Copy. All CSAM and Child erotica to be redacted.
