We have made requests for multiple additional interviews. The Lieutenant and Captain on duty at the time of death have agreed to be interviewed and this is occurring now in our office. Two of the guards who were part of the initial team that discovered Epstein's body rejected our request and directed us to contact their attorneys. We are working with the remaining staff members to schedules times for them to come in for interviews. Our plan is to conduct those interviews as soon as they are willing to make themselves available.

is updating the sitrep now with this information.

Will get a firmer timeline, but we have subpoenas for 3 officers phones. After they are served and then data pulled, we will attempt interviews. I believe one officer would not answer her door this afternoon.

Just sending a quick note on the interview of the MCC Warden.

The Warden of the MCC, was interviewed at the offices of the SDNY with no representation from an attorney or the union. The interview was audio recorded and will be transcribed by NY DIG. A report of the transcription will be provided to the FBI.

was courteous and forthcoming. He advised that he was on leave at the time of Epstein's death, but was notified by his acting Warden and responded to the MCC immediately. provided a summary of the protocols within MCC/BOP that are in place for such an incident, and described how he followed though protocols.

Generally, interview consisted of the discussion ofprocedural matters. There was nothing of significance with regard to evidentiary items pertaining to the death investigation that was gleaned from this interview.
