Subject: Fwd: RE: ACTION REQUESTED: Due-outs from DD meeting Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 16:38:55 +0000 I m p or t a nce: Normal All, I spoke to and coveyed below. She was going to speak to Tovar. Info conveyed to Based on information provided by Tovar and communication with NY, it appears the referenced hard drives by Sweeney were from Epstein's safe during the first search warrant (related to 305 case) and they did not have authority to seize at the time. When they went back a week later they were missing. The individual who took them brought them to NY. The drives were not encrypted to NY's knowledge and are currently being processed. NY is also going through the taint process. OTD is not involved. The OTD evidence list provided to the EAD yesterday in the Daily report is strictly the MCC DVR harddrives being processed by OTD (related to 90A case). So the hard drives referenced by Sweeney would not be on that list. Need to confirmed with Tovar that is the list he was referring to. On Aug 20, 2019 12:31 Pm, wrote: Confirmed. This is just dvrs.

Drives are not encrypted and already processed by NYCART. Case squad is working through taint review process. This is assuming we are all talking about the same evidence. I don't have the 1B numbers the EAD was shown to confirm with NY beyond the emails below. If we can get those, we can go further.

The drives are not encrypted to my knowledge, they are with Flatley being processed. We are going through the taint process due to the potential for privileged information.

Do you know what hard drives are being discussed and where they are? Supervisory Special Agent/Forensic Examiner Unit Chief Digital Forensics Analysis Unit Operational Technology Division Federal Bureau of Investigation Forwarded messa e From: Date: Aug 20, 2019 9:33 AM Sub'ect: Fwd: ACTION RE UESTED: Due-outs from DD meetin To: Cc: Forwarded messa e From: " Date: Aug 20, 2019 9:24 AM Sub'ect: ACTION RE UESTED: Due-outs from DD meetin To: EFTA00161351 Cc: All, This morning the DD was interested in a set of specific evidence related to the Epstein investigation. mentioned to the DD about evidence that was received from a 3rd parties residence (mid to late July). The residence owner turned it over quickly and stated that he didn't want to have anything to do with it after it was placed there by an associate. Sweeney indicated that the drives recovered appeared to be encrypted. The evidence sheets provided to the EAD do indicate media that was received on 8/16, but no mention of encryption, or whether they were associated with this residence. Can we get some clarification? The DD, as well as ADIC and CID, are inquiring about the prioritization of the exploitation of that media, specifically since it may lead to co-conspirators which has the attention of the AG. EAD is requesting that OTD be on standby for additional questions as this appears to be a focus today.
