Internal DOJ email thread from March 2021 coordinating a call about multiple FOIA requests related to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigation, including requests from Boies Schiller and the Radar Online lawsuit.
This document is an internal email chain between Department of Justice officials discussing how to handle approximately sixteen FOIA requests related to the Epstein investigation. The emails reveal that David Boies' law firm, Boies Schiller Flexner, had submitted multiple FOIA requests to the DOJ and other districts. The officials also reference the Radar Online FOIA lawsuit and note that their Civil Division had been handling additional FOIA-related litigation beyond direct requests to their office.

We spoke with the civil AUSA on the Radar Online case today, so we have updates on that as well.

Do we have a way of compiling a list of the requests made to Civ Div and handled by them? They must have a FOIA coordinator or something like that... EFTA00025213
From: Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2021 5:56 PM To: Cc: Subject: FW: Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell/FOIA >; FYI...is list has about sixteen cases. I've askeclMto check his records to see if there are more. When we have the full list, and I will check in with you to see where we should go from here. Two things to note for now: • One of these FOIA requests is from Boies Schiller, and the log notes that BSF has made multiple requests, including to other districts. • This list only includes FOIA requests directed to our office. It does not include FOIA lawsuits our civil division has handled, based on FOIA requests to other governmental components (for example, the Radar Online case referenced in Maxwell's letter).

Could you please send us the following information: • A list of all FOIA requests our office has received; • For each case, whether a production was made in response to the request; and • Who the AUSA point of contact for the request is. That would be a big help. Please let us know if you need any information from us to run the search. Thanks very much, EFTA00025214
