This document is an email exchange from November 2019 between attorneys related to statements made by Mr. Tartaglione, Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate, during interviews at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) concerning the investigation into an event involving Jeffrey Epstein on or about July 23, 2019, as well as a request for reports and video regarding Epstein's attempted suicide on July 22-23.
The document reveals a discussion between attorneys Michael Bachrach, Bruce Barket, Aida Leisenring, BRUCE KOFFSKY, and Kenneth J. Montgomery regarding the production of statements made by Mr. Tartaglione related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The attorneys are seeking statements made by Tartaglione during interviews and reports and video related to Epstein's attempted suicide. The United States Attorney's Office (USANYS) is providing reports of Tartaglione's statements but declines to provide reports and video of Epstein's attempted suicide, deeming them irrelevant. This exchange highlights the legal efforts to gather information surrounding the circumstances of Epstein's incarceration and death.
