Weinberg c Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2019 09:30 To: Subject: US v Epstein ; Reid Weingarten 'Martin G. Weinberg' < => >; 'Miller, Michael' , in light of yesterday's seizures of computers in the Virgin Islands from Mr Epstein's residence or residences, and in light of the fact that emails and documents contained on some or all of these computers contain attorney-client and work product privileged communications, I request that you provide us assurance that they will not be accessed by the "case team" until a taint team is selected and until the procedures for a protection of those privileged communications is established. You have agreed to that protocol for the phones seized from Mr. Epstein on July 6 and the computers etc seized from his NYC residence shortly thereafter. I have a list of attorneys that I am prepared to send to a taint prosecutor once one is identified to me. Second, there remains the timing of the dismissal of the charge against Mr. Epstein. Are you awaiting a motion to dismiss from us? Will the Indictment be nolle prossed today? Is there a reason for any delay beyond today? EFTA00027975
