He is supposed to get his CPAP machine today. He is aware he will be returning to SHU, but said he is feeling unwell due to his inability to sleep and numbness in his arrn. He requested to have one good night of sleep with his CPAP and will return to SHU with a cellmate tomorrow. He then asked if he could remain down here where it is "safe" for the entire week. I told him he can stay down one more night to receive his CPAP and a good night's sleep, but that he would be returned to SHU tomorrow. It was explained that there is no mental health issues precluding him from returning to SHU tomorrow and that we could not house him in the SW/Hospital area because he felt safe or more comfortable for him. It was explained to him that he would be placed in a safe situation in the SHU. He will remain on psychological observation today and will transition to the SHU tomorrow. Thank you, Elissa Psy.D.

Jeffrey Epstein. 19-CRIM-00490 (S.D.N.Y.) Page 221 of 626 Dear Counselors: Withheld pursuant to exemption This Office has receivf c ies of warfggyests mcl:stibmna for documents and records (collectively, the "Subpoena = etieudesTs1 filotint'bilireigfatsiSepartment of Justice in the above-captioned matter. Specifically, this Office has received copies of your requests dated August 20, 2019, addressed to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York ("USAO-SDNY"), the Bureau of Prisons ("BOP"), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), and your request and subpoena dated August 23, 2019, addressed to the Metropolitan Correctional Center ("MCC"). The Subpoena and Requests seek medical and mental records relating to Jeffrey Epstein, as well as MCC records and protocols relating to Mr. Epstein's death. Because the Subpoena and Requests seek information from DOJ employees acquired as a part of their performance of their official duties, the Subpoena and Requests are governed by certain DOJ regulations ("Touhy regulations") which, inter alia, direct DOJ attorneys to consider the factors set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 16.26(a) and (b). See 28 C.F.R. § 16.23; see also United Stares ex rel. Touhy v. Rage'', 340 U.S. 462 (1951); 28 C.F.R. § 16.21 et seq. Touhy regulations "provide guidance for the internal operations of the Department of Justice," and do not create substantive rights. Id. § 16.21(d). Among the factors which must be considered in deciding whether to make disclosures pursuant to a demand, 28 C.F.R. § 16.26 requires consideration of "[w)hether such disclosure is appropriate under the rules of procedure governing the case or matter in which the demand arose." That factor alone is dispositive here: disclosure of these materials is not appropriate under the rules of procedure governing United States v. Jeffrey Epstein, 19-CRIM-00490 (S.D.N.Y.) because that proceeding has terminated. See Nolle Prosequi, United States v. Jeffrey SDNY_00014603 EFTA01687087  Page 2 Epstein, 19-CRIM-00490 (S.D.N.Y.), Dkt. No. 52. Accordingly, DOJ will not disclose material in response to the Subpoena and Requests. Nothing in this response constitutes a waiver of any applicable privilege, including but not limited to the work product privilege, attorney-client privilege, or law enforcement privilege, or any other objection or defense to the enforceability of the Subpoena and Requests, or application of any other factor under the Department's Touhy regulations. Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this matter. Sincerely, GEOFFREY S. BERMAN United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York By: J.

We are in the process of working on a story about the cameras outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the morning of his death. The story will assert that the data in those cameras was found to be corrupted/unreadable, though it is being sent to Quantico for further analysis. Can the BOP comment on that assertion? Is the functionality of cameras a larger issue at BOP or MCC? Are you able to say what other cameras might have captured that night to support the assertion that Mr. Epstein killed himself?
