Re: Autopsy Report and File for Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Ms. Hutner:
By letter dated August 28, 2019, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern
District of New York ("USAO") requested that the OCME withhold from disclosure to any third
party (i) "any documents, evidence or information made available to OCME by the USAO or the
FBI—including documents, records, or materials from the MCC—or created by OCME or within
the OCME case file that include, reflect, or contain information made available to OCME by the
USAO or FBI"; and (ii) "the names and identifying information of any federal law enforcement
agents or employees who were interviewed by the OCME, along with the substance of any
statements or interviews made by those agents or employees" (the "August 28 Letter").
At OCME's request, the USAO has made proposed redactions to the version of the OCME
report and file for Jeffrey Epstein that was previously provided by OCME to the FBI, consistent
with the requests set forth in the August 28 Letter. That redacted document is attached hereto. In
order to preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation, in addition to the requests set forth in
the August 28 Letter, we also request that OCME withhold from disclosure to any third party this
letter and its attachment, and the August 28 Letter. We appreciate your willingness to comply
with these requests. Please contact us with any further questions.
Very truly yours,
GEOFFREY S. BERMAN
United States Attorney
