Good morning all,
Per the above article, the Court was advised by the USAO that MCC did not preserve video from outside the cell shared by Tartaglione and Epstein at the time of Epstein's alleged first suicide attempt. However, per the attached, SIS advised the footage was preserved. What search for the footage was performed prior to advising the USAO the footage could not be found? I would recommend searching again for the missing video. I have a call with the AUSAs in 20 minutes and will advise as to what other issues arose at yesterday's hearing.
Thank you,
Adam

Hello Adam,
It was good to see you yesterday. Thank you for accommodating my visit with Tartaglione and giving him extra time to review his discovery. We very much appreciate that.
I am writing to request the preservation of all video surveillance that captures the hallway outside of Tartaglione's cell on the date and time of the Epstein incident that is currently being investigated. I believe that the date and time is July 23 during the early morning hours. Accordingly, I would ask that all video surveillance from July 22 at 11pm to July 23 at 4 am is preserved. If it is your understanding that the incident occurred at a different time, please let me know and preserve the relevant footage, including an hour before the incident and an hour afterwards. If the responding officers were wearing body cameras that captured the inside of the cell in the aftermath of the incident, I am requesting that such footage also be preserved.
We will be officially requesting this material through the appropriate means, but please consider this email a formal preservation request.
Thank you.
