Anyone who plans to take the shuttle from 26 Federal Plaza to Newark Airport on Sunday morning needs to let █████ and ████ know so they can track how many people need to be accounted for. Please email them asap if you are taking the shuttle. Thanks █████

All,

We just received word this morning that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell last night. It starting a break on the media so I wanted to get something out to the team, decisions are still being made on whether or not we should execute the warrant. Please stand by for further instructions.

?

Update:

We are continuing with plans to execute the warrant on Monday morning. All options are being discussed at the highest levels and, as always, we need to remain flexible. Everyone should continue with plans to travel according the established schedule UNLESS you hear otherwise.

?

Good Evening,

I just received confirmation that we will be going wheels up tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your patience.

See you in the AM
