Wanted to circle back on this — FBI is in the process of getting their approvals as well, so we wanted to make sure we're
okay on our end? And then can start the OIA and EOUSA processes. Thanks!

Following a process of more than six months of attempting to be in contact with a key witness located in the United
Kingdom, including more than two months of intensive discussion and negotiation with the witness's UK-based
counsel, just yesterday her counsel advised us that the witness, Emmy Taylor, is willing to meet us in London on March
19.
Other than the sole statutory victim, Taylor is potentially the most critical person in the case—she is the former
assistant to Ghisaine Maxwell, our current top target subject, and when she left that job she was replaced by Sarah
Kellen, who is the only other individual we currently are considering charging. The main victim also recalls that Taylor
was present during instances of sexual abuse, which could make Taylor the only witness to that conduct other than the
victim, potentially including instances when Maxwell was present. And Taylor worked for Maxwell for years during the
key period we are hoping to charge.
We realize that our ask for permission for two people to travel to London this month is challenging both because it is
international travel for two individuals and because of the Coronovirus concerns, but we wouldn't be doing our jobs if
we didn't make the request — this is a crucial witness whom we've been trying to get to talk with us for many months,
and it could be extraordinarily valuable to speak to her before making a final charging decision, which we hope to do
by the end of the month. And because she's so critical, we want to have at least two members of the team to be able
to ask her questions, evaluate her credibility, etc. Taylor could be of exceptional, unique importance to the case.
Our draft memo is attached — if we can get approval, we'll want to get the various necessary approvals ASAP, but
obviously wanted to start with you guys.
thanks very much,
Alex.

Ed,
Similar to prior requests in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), but with an added international
element, we'd like to please request permission for the team to travel next week for an interview near Stockholm,
Sweden, next week on January 29th and/or 30th. We expect to be traveling, respectively, some combination of the
27th (overnight) to the 31st, depending on when the interview ends up being scheduled, and we'll put final dates on
our formal applications. Also similar to prior trips, we'd like to request approval to get a conference room for one of
those days at a hotel for the interview itself.
Also based on our discussion earlier we'll be mindful of looking for domestic (or domestic-flagged) carrier flights, as
well as the costs of any alternatives, in looking at possible specific bookings. Thanks as always for your help and input
on that.

Similar to prior requests in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), we'd like to please request

trips, we'd like to request approval to get a conference room for one of those days.

Similar to prior requests in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), we'd like to please request
permission to travel next week for an interview in West Palm Beach on November 4. It will just be me and Maurene,
and we'll travel some combination of the 3rd to the 5th. And also same as last time, we'd like to ask permission to
reserve a conference room at the hotel on that Monday for the interview, please.

Again in connection with the Epstein investigation (2018R01618), we'd like to please request permission to travel next
week for a victim interview in Los Angeles. As of now we tentatively expect to fly down Wednesday and return no
later than Friday (and will keep the timeframe as short as scheduling allows). The trip will be some combination of me,
Alison, and/or Maurene, as previously. And also same as last time, we'd like to ask permission to reserve a conference
room at the hotel on Thursday for the interview, please.
thanks very much,

Again in connection with the Epstein investigation, we'd like to please request permission to travel for approximately
three days next week for meetings and interviews in West Palm Beach, Florida. As of now we tentatively expect to fly
down Tuesday night and return on Wednesday or Thursday (and will keep the timeframe as short as scheduling
allows).
Unfortunately we're still trying to pin down timing for interviewing the victims, so depending on the timing it will
either be me and Alison or Alison and Maurene, but we wanted to ask for permission now either way so we weren't
doing it super last minute after the holiday on Tuesday. And also same as last time, we'd like to ask permission to
reserve a conference room at the hotel for the interviews, please.
thanks very much,
Alex.

For the same case as below, United States v. Epstein, 2018R01618, an investigation relating to enticement of minors
for sexual activity, Alison and I would like to please request permission to travel for approximately three days next
week for meetings and interviews in West Palm Beach, Florida. As of now we tentatively expect to fly down Tuesday
night and return on Friday, though we will shorten the timeframe if scheduling allows.
Please let us know if any other information would be helpful, and thanks very much.
