Thanks, Anjan From: Sent: Wednesday, September 4, 2019 7:47 PM To: Sahni, Anjan Cc: c )'; Subject: RE: ntities subpoenas EXTERNAL SENDER Anjan, Stoddart, Very good to hear from you, and I apologize for the delay in replying to your voicemail from Friday — I was on trial last week so have spent the past couple days digging out from under piles of emails and voicemails. But we'd be happy to speak with you regarding the subpoenas to the ntities in connection with the Epstein investigation. We had been in touch with Steve D'Allessandro, who was very helpful, but he also mentioned that they might bring in outside counsel. If you let us know a couple times that would work for you tomorrow or Friday—and I'm copying my colleagues -and who are also working on the case—we'll get a quorum on our side and finalize a time. And please let us know if any other information would be useful in the interim. thanks, Assistant U.S. Attorney Southern District of New York EFTA00020673
