A July 2019 prosecutor's subpoena to the Metropolitan Correctional Center requesting recordings of Jeffrey Epstein's phone calls and his jail email correspondence, issued just days after his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges.

This document is an email from federal prosecutors to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) dated July 11, 2019, attaching a subpoena for recordings of Jeffrey Epstein's phone calls (excluding attorney calls) and requesting his email correspondence from July 6-11, 2019. The prosecutors specifically excluded communications with Epstein's defense attorneys Marc Fernich, Martin Weinberg, and Reid Weingarten to protect attorney-client privilege.
