I talked to McEnany this morning about the declaration in the Epstein FOIA case, and he said that he was very busy right now. I will ping him to make sure this doesn't drop, please feel free to follow up with him. Thanks.

The Maxwell team is okay with this version of the letter. Please let me know if this is what you had in mind, or happy to discuss/change things if not.

Please find attached a letter responding to a Touhy request from an Epstein victim and the documents to be produced with it. The Maxwell team has signed off on this response. We anticipate that requester's counsel understands that the government has additional documents here and may press on why more are not being released. To attempt to address that issue up front, the letter notes that documents governed by 6(e) cannot be produced. Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Please find attached a letter to victim's counsel, outlining the Touhy process. This is basically the same letter we sent to Roberta Kaplan at the outset of the prior Touhy process. We intend to proceed along the same lines with this request as with the prior request. Please let me know if you have any edits or concerns.

With apologies, I now think Steven was right in the first place: if plaintiffs ask us for the does and we don't have them then I guess it does make most sense for us to simply say, we don't have them, try SDFIa and/or NDGA. SDFLa and NDGA may say, pound sand, and if plaintiffs subpoena one or the other of those districts, then we see if the subpoenaed district Touhy-refers the subpoena to Geoff as the "responsible" USA, and take it from there. So I am OK with Steven's plan for dealing with plaintiff's further requests as he outlines in his May 20 email. EFTA00088096
