If the subjects go beyond my expertise, I will convey the questions/issues that are of concern to others and reserve the right to have additional counsel in future communications.

Regarding the review of materials seized subject to search warrants, as you mentioned in your separate email of yesterday, August 12, I expect that we will be in touch with you in the coming weeks regarding the provision of information for our privilege screening process. Regarding your question about the Govemment's intentions with respect to the Indictment, that is in progress but is ordinarily a process that can take some time. Please advise if you believe there is an emergency in EFTA00092807 connection with the timing of that process. Finally, can you please provide contact information for counsel for Mr. Epstein's estate (or anticipated estate, if that is not yet formally established)? If that is you, I will follow up separately regarding relevant issues, or otherwise can go directly to the right person or firm. I realize I have been delayed in responding to your voicemails of yesterday and today, but we were working to be able to get you appropriate answers to your queries, including the correct contacts.
