Re: Fentanyl investigation [FFW DOCS EID60023751]

Jill,

Thanks for circling back, and we'll do our best to answer these questions. In terms of who would be in the room, the most likely answer is that it would be two of the prosecutors and the two law enforcement officers on the case. The only reason I saw "most likely" rather than having a definitive answer is that when we're interviewing in a foreign country, it sometimes is the case the local law enforcement also insists on having representatives present. I don't believe that's required in the U.K., but we can check on it and give you a definitive answer in the coming days if that's useful. (Also, if she preferred to be interviewed in the U.S., we certainly could guarantee that the room would be just the case team, and we could arrange for travel and lodging for her. Let us know if that's the case, but otherwise we're of course happy to travel to her.)

Regarding access to notes, it would principally be the investigative team—so again, the prosecutors and the FBI team working on the case. Our respective supervisors also theoretically have access to our files, but the reports are not generally widely disseminated. The basic logistics are that an agent takes notes during an interview, and then types up those notes into a formal report (called an FBI Form 302). We don't ordinarily share notes with other entities, but I can also check on that to see if I can make a more specific representation with respect to your client.

thanks,

Hello

Apologies for the slight delay. My client is willing to help but asks the following:

• That there be a morning meeting at which introductions with a discussion as to the investigation and my clients involvement. I appreciate that you have explained this to me but I think further verbal clarification would assist.

• In the afternoon and after a break, my client would be willing to answer questions, in so far as she can.

• That a friend of hers be allowed to be present as well. However that friend is based in the US and would need to be flown over to London. He is a US lawyer.

Perhaps you could let me know if this is possible?
Kind regards,
Jill

Jill,

Just to clarify, would it be possible for you to provide us even a very general or high-level summary of what she has told you? We ordinarily don't go into interviews completely blind when witnesses have counsel — and the Weinstein investigation had a great number of problems that we have been able to avoid. And separately, we'll of course keep you updated on our approval process as well.

thanks again,

Jill,

Following up on the below, given the development of the virus pandemic over the past week, any foreign travel for us is completely shut down. We certainly will plan to come to the U.K. whenever we are permitted, but in the interim this makes it even more valuable to get even a summary of what your client would expect to convey to us. Would it be possible to set up a call for later this week or sometime next week? And profound apologies for the inconvenience in changing plans, we certainly don't want to cause additional stress or anxiety to your client, the circumstances are just completely beyond our control.

thank you,

Hi Jill,

I hope you're doing well. We continue to be interested in speaking with your client in connection with our investigation, and we think it would be helpful to check in and discuss how best to proceed in light of the pandemic. Are you available for a call this week? We are generally available, so if you could please let us know what times would work for you for a call, that would be great.
