An internal DOJ email from SDNY spokesman Nicholas Biase sharing a Guardian article about Steve Bannon's media coaching of Jeffrey Epstein before an aborted CBS interview.

This document is an internal email from September 2021 sent by Nicholas Biase, the spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). Biase forwarded a Guardian article about revelations from Michael Wolff's book 'Too Famous' that claimed Steve Bannon had coached Jeffrey Epstein for a planned '60 Minutes' interview that never happened. Biase characterizes the news as 'somewhat interesting/general weirdness' rather than case-relevant information. The SDNY was the office that brought the 2019 federal sex trafficking charges against Epstein.
