FW: AG Briefing

Just in case you and your team aren't busy enough, Audrey had suggested that it might be helpful to prepare a one-pager for the AG with pictures of the AUSAs with whom he'd be meeting and a paragraph or two on the substance of the briefing, with an eye toward circulating it to OAG early next week so he has visibility on who and what to expect. I connected with Gerber and Blais about it, if you guys wanted to compare notes on how theirs will be styled.

Thanks—and sorry for the (further) intrusion)

How does this look? Where can we get their photos?

will present on their investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of Jeffrey Epstein in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) on August 10, 2019. In the last two months, SDNY, along with agents from the FBI and DOJ-OIG, have interviewed more than forty witnesses, including 27 MCC employees and 16 inmates at MCC; reviewed dozens of hours of videotape of the Special Housing Unit (SHU), where Epstein was housed; and reviewed records from the MCC as well as financial records for the relevant employees; and conducted searches of cellphones. The investigation has determined principally that the two for the SHU area during the night of August 9 and early morning hours of August 10 — and — did not conduct any of the required institutional "counts" at 10 p.m., 12 a.m., 3 a.m., and 5 a.m., nor did they conduct most of the "rounds" they were required to conduct every 30 minutes at any point after 9:30 p.m. Epstein's body was discovered at approximately 6:30 a.m., and the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that he had died at some point within the preceding three hours. and falsified numerous forms showing that had performed the required rounds and counts overnight, although they did not actually do so. Instead, and were [ ] performing other tasks, using the computer, talking, or sleeping during their overnight shift. In addition, the investigation has determined that, contrary to MCC policy and a directive from the Chief Psychologist and then-Warden, Epstein was left without a cellmate from the morning of August 9 through his death on the morning of August 10. Many MCC employees failed to compluvith that directive, although some claim not to have been aware of it. It is not clear that either or had been made aware of the directive, though they were trained on MCC policy and would have been in a position to arrange for Epstein to receive a new cellmate.
