Blacked out
Good afternoon
I am processing a FOIPA request and the subject is Jeffrey Epstein.
The requester's name is Angela Clemente. In searching the Bureau's indices, the following file was located and determined responsive to the subject of this FOIPA request. It is RIDS policy to notify the CDC and Case Agent to ensure all pending investigations are handled appropriately.
FILE NUMBER (including sub-files): 50D-NY-3027571
Investigator/SA:
RIDS is required to collect and review the potentially responsive information to determine how to properly respond to this FOIPA request. Below you will find RIDS standard questions for handling pending cases. We request your office address each question and provide the specific details associated with this pending matter. Your responses to the questions below will determine the exemptions or whether exclusion is appropriate for this request.

I. What is the current status of the pending investigation (e.g., investigation is ongoing, awaiting U.S. Attorney decision to prosecute, trial is pending, an appeal from the trial is pending, etc.)?
Can we advise the subject/requester that the investigation is pending or would this jeopardize the investigation?
If pending, does the investigative file contain any releasable material pertaining specifically to the subject of the request that will not harm or interfere with this or any other pending investigation?
[Please note releasable material could include, but is not limited to public source material (i.e., newspaper articles, internet downloads, items in the public domain such as video clips and press releases, court transcripts, criminal affidavits, and other court filings)].
- Has the subject of this investigation been interviewed?
This FOIPA request number is part of a litigation (Clemente v. FBI, 20-cv-1527), so a response by August 18, 2020 would be greatly appreciated.
