Hi Andy/Jill,
We understand that Mr. Contreras is willing to meet with us in a proffer session, and that the proffer would be limited
only to the information he has regarding Mr. Epstein's death. If so, when would be convenient to meet? Let us know if
you'd like to discuss anything by phone. Thanks.

Hi Andy:
I've spoken with my wonderful former colleagues in SDNY who are handling the investigation, and who are cc'd here. I
passed along the information you and Jill provided to us yesterday, and they will reach out to you directly to set up a
proffer on this topic.
Thanks, and best,

Dear nd
This email concerns the investigation into the death of Jeffrey Epstein in
the MCC. We realize that it is unlikely your office is involved, but we
thought that we should inform the government of the following so you can
take whatever action you believe is appropriate.
Jhonny Contreras was recently returned to the SHU in the MCC. At the
time of Mr. Epstein's death, it is my understanding that Mr. Contreras was
housed in a cell on the same tier and across the hall from Mr. Epstein's
cell. Mr. Contreras did not see Mr. Epstein hang himself, but he would be
EFTA00018960
willing to speak to investigators, in the presence of counsel, about his
observations.
Please let us know if there is anything further we should do to follow-up.
Andy
