Internal FBI and SDNY prosecutor communications from October 2020 regarding efforts to interview a former Epstein employee witness represented by attorney Aitan Gohlman.
This document captures email exchanges between FBI/NYPD Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force agents and Assistant U.S. Attorneys from the Southern District of New York in late October 2020. The correspondence details efforts to locate and interview a former employee of Jeffrey Epstein who resides on Long Island. When agents conducted a field visit, they learned the witness had limited English proficiency and was represented by attorney Aitan Gohlman, who also represents another witness ('Ma') that prosecutors wanted to interview. The emails discuss logistics including whether to conduct in-person interviews or use WebEx video conferencing.
