Hi Brendan,
Thanks very much. In terms of next steps, we would appreciate the opportunity to meet with your client for an interview. I think we've discussed this before, but in general we continue to view your client as a witness, and we would expect the interview would largely focus on the flight records you've produced. We don't anticipate that we would need to speak with your client for much longer than an hour or so, in case that helps give a sense of what we have in mind. I think you mentioned that your client is based in Florida, so we're happy to discuss arranging logistics to work out something convenient for you and your client.
Please let us know if a call would be useful to discuss further, and thanks again for sending records earlier today.
Best,
Hi Brendan,
Following up on our conversation from two weeks ago, I wanted to check to see if you have any updates on when we might be able to schedule an interview with your client.
Thanks,
Hi Brendan,
Our team has blocked off time to meet with your client on February 7th, along the lines we discussed. I wanted to check in with you to see if the issues you had raised regarding the estate had been resolved. If so, please let us know and we can move forward with travel arrangements.
Thanks,
We're still working through the issues I mentioned on the phone. We had hoped to have those resolved by now, but they haven't been. Would it be possible to move the meeting to 2/21?
Hi Brendan,
Thanks for the quick response. We're trying to be flexible, and to that end we could move this to the week of 2/10. However, February 21st would be a significant delay, especially given that we initially made this interview request in July, and renewed those discussions in December. Let us know if you'd like to discuss further.
Thanks,
Would 2/14 work? If so, could we chat briefly on the phone tomorrow?
Hi Brendan— I'm free from 2pm onwards tomorrow, if that works for a call. We are available on 2/14, but let's discuss.

It's fine with me if or one of her colleagues calls him directly. I'll give him a heads up. [ ]
Mr. Rodgers's travel is booked, so we should be set for our meeting on 2/7. Can we please plan to start at 10am at 1St. Andrews?

Brendan,
In advance of Friday's meeting, wanted to give you a heads up that we expect to ask Mr. Rodgers about a discrete topic that is related to our Epstein investigation just through the logs — it turns out that there is a missing person named a teenager from Florida, who was last seen sometime around about August 1, 1997. In the flight logs, there is an individual listed as ' (so, slightly different spelling) on an August 1, 1997 flight that's designated as being from SAR to ZOR. The entry is the following:
| Date | Departure | Destination | Passenger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 1, 1997 | SAR | ZOR | (redacted) |
On the one hand, given the spelling we thought perhaps it's a relative of your client; on the other, I don't see that name listed on other dates around then, but that's just at a glance. In any event, we wanted to let you know we expect to ask about it, and we're happy to discuss further with you in advance if that's useful.
thanks,
