When we came back a week later they were missing. The individual that took them was contacted and brought them over right away. The drives are not encrypted to my knowledge, they are with being processed. We are going through the taint process due to the potential for privileged information. From Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2019 10:53 AM To: Subject: Fwd: ACTION REQUESTED: Due-outs from DD meeting This is the question Pm trying to answer. Do you know what hard drives are being discussed and where they are? Supervisory Special Agent/Forensic Examiner Unit Chief Digital Forensics Analysis Unit Operational Technology Division Federal Bureau of Investigation - NYO voicemail - Cell - OTD Desk Forwarded message From: Date: Aug 20, 2019 9:33 AM Sub'ect: Fwd: ACTION RE UESTED: Due-outs from DD meetin To: Cc: ------- Forwarded message From: Date: Aug 20, 2019 9:24 AM Sub'ect: ACTION REQUESTED: Due-outs from DD meetin To: Cc EFTA00147277 All, This morning the DD was interested in a set of specific evidence related to the Epstein investigation. ADIC mentioned to the DD about evidence that was received from a 3rd parties residence (mid to late July). The residence owner turned it over quickly and stated that he didn't want to have anything to do with it after it was placed there by an associate. indicated that the drives recovered appeared to be encrypted. The evidence sheets provided to the EAD do indicate media that was received on 8/16, but no mention of encryption, or whether they were associated with this residence. Can we get some clarification? The DD, as well as ADIC and CID, are inquiring about the prioritization of the exploitation of that media, specifically since it may lead to co-conspirators which has the attention of the AG. EAD is requesting that OTD be on standby for additional questions as this appears to be a focus today.
