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,

As an update, I spoke with the AUSAs. They advised the Court there was no video because the FBI had the DVR (pulled for the 8/10 incident) which went back to the 7/23 attempt. The FBI reported the DVR footage was corrupted as to the 7/23 video and, thus there was no footage. The AUSAs are asking that SIS check to see where the 7/22-23 video is preserved to see if that copy is not corrupted. They will be reaching out to her directly.
The AUSAs also want to know where the orange rope from the 7/23 attempt is preserved.

The video is being burned and sent over. Can you call me when you have a min?
