An internal email from July 9, 2019, forwarding an Inside Edition media inquiry asking whether Anthony Weiner would testify against Jeffrey Epstein—a question the recipient characterized as 'officially the dumbest Epstein question so far.'

This document captures internal communications from what appears to be the U.S. Attorney's office handling the Epstein case, just three days after his July 6, 2019 arrest. Inside Edition producer Matt Sutherland inquired whether disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, who had recently been released from prison for sexting with a minor, would cooperate or testify against Epstein. The dismissive internal response ('officially the dumbest Epstein question so far') indicates there was no known connection between Weiner and the Epstein case. This email reveals the flood of speculative media inquiries prosecutors received in the immediate aftermath of Epstein's high-profile arrest.
