Hi

I'm happy to speak. I am free tomorrow between 12 and 4 if there's a time that works.

Thank you —1PM works for us if that works for you. Is your office number the best number to reach you?

Great, thanks. My cell would actually be better as I'm sitting in another office right now.

Hi

Hi

We don't have any current plans to interview again. We were previously interested in meeting with
the second victim represented by. attorney after the Maxwell trial. Based on our last conversation, I believe
you had met with already. If you are still pursuing an investigation encompassing both victims, we are not [ ]
likely to open an other investigation. If anything changes or my understanding is incorrect, please let me know.

Thank you,

Good morning

We are reaching out to see if you have some time this week or next week for a quick phone call re: this
investigation. We have a new CW who has come forward and alleged sexual abuse by Leon Black. This CW was
trafficked by Maxwell and Epstein, and we are wondering whether name has come across your desk in the [ ]
course of your investigation.

Thank you,
[Redacted] & [Redacted]

Hi and

We'd be happy to chat. and I are available today until 2pm if there's a time that works on your end. Let us know and the best number to reach you.

Thanks,

I am also available until 2, with the caveat that I am home with my sick son. You can call me at If I miss you, I will call you back - just let me know the best number to reach you.

Hi and

I hope all is well. Do you have time to connect briefly on this case again next week?

Thanks,

Sure. What works for you?

I am about to start a short trial so I can either speak first thing in the morning on Monday (9am) or after 5:30 on Monday or Tuesday. If that doesn't work on your end, let me know.

Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Hi

I got a voice mail yesterday afternoon but it was cut off — but I did hear and assumed it was you? Hope your trial is going well. I have some limited time to chat tomorrow between 1 and 3pm, and then am pretty open Thursday and Friday if any of those times work for you.

Thanks,

Hi

Yes that's correct. Have you been in touch with attorney, Jeanne Christensen?

She had reached out to our Office and given some high level overview but to avoid raising or clients [ ]
expectations I was hoping to try to evaluate whether we'd be inclined to investigate the conduct before circling back
to. with any direct inquiries. If Jeanne is willing to allow you to share interview notes or something similar, that [ ]
would be super helpful.

Understood. I'll touch base with and get back to you. Thank you. [x]

Thanks very much, and just for full context, my understanding is that from SDNY let Jeanne know last week that we were deconflicting with your office so she is aware of that.

I just spoke with and she gave permission on behalf of to share details of our investigation with you. Happy [ ] [ ]
to chat tomorrow morning if you're available?. Tomorrow afternoon I'm in court and I'm out of the office on Friday
and Monday.

Thanks,

Tomorrow morning is good. Does 11am work? You can call my desk: [redacted]

Sorry [redacted], turns out I’m in court this morning, not this afternoon. I’m free after 1:30pm if this afternoon works?

Unfortunately I'm tied up this afternoon at a conference. I'll be in the office until about 12:30 if you free up at all before then, give me a call otherwise we can talk Tues when you're back.

Hi

I'm free between 10AM and 3PM today and tomorrow if you have any availability.

Notes below

Hi

Do you have time for a call to discuss a victim who recently came to our attention with connections to the Epstein/Maxwell case? To be clear, we aren't suggesting investigating Maxwell for more crimes, but this victim has identified other potential traffickers, and we think it makes sense to do a bit of due diligence before deciding what, if anything, we should do with this information.

Thanks

Hey

Apologies on the delay. Happy to chat. Let me know what works best for you.

No problem! I'm out on vacation this week, but can we get a date on the calendar for a call next week? I'm wide open on 7/11 if that works for you two.

How about 2pm on 7/11? We are also trying to schedule GJ with [REDACTED] on another case but if it’s Tuesday, it will be in the morning. [REDACTED], does that work for you?

Sounds good. That works for me.

Enjoy your vacation!
