This was not a planned conference correct? Forwarded message From: "ME, (SE) (FBI)" <MMIMIE> Date: Jan 28, 2020 8:41 PM Subject: RE: USAO Epstein Press Conference To: (DO) (FBI)" Cc: "MM,MIE (NY) (FBI)" This was a clear communication failure on the part of the USA/O. It was a planned press conference, co-sponsored/hosted by Safe Horizons, held infront of Epstein's house. I would like to let the victims know that any issues or concerns that they have about not being notified should be directed to the USAO. If they ask, to whom specifically should they voice their concerns? From: L.

Apparently, SDNY/FBI had no idea this was going to happen. The USAO was out and media asked him a question about Prince Andrew and he made a statement. That is all I have, but I'm cc'ing for her awareness. From: M, (SE) (FBI) Sent: Monday, January 27, 2020 2:14 PM To: =, L (DO) (FBI) •,: > Subject: USAO Epstein Press Conference Hey there! EFTA00148122 Add me to the list of VSs who are getting irate communications from our victims about not getting a heads up about this morning's press briefing in front of Epstein's brownstone. I suspect that the USAO failed to let us know.... Whatever happened, can you let me know where the breakdown occurred and how the /we will be addressing it so that it doesn't happen again? I want to be able to discuss it with my victim who is often the mouthpiece for many of the core victims. And I can tell you that they are discussing it and feeling angry and betrayed at the moment. Pretty understandable. So anyway, looking for a bit of information to take back and make amends with. Any help you can offer is most appreciated!!!
