It would be useful for us if you were able to help us understand the nature of the issues and procedures with which you are dealing, particularly as it sounds like it will take at least a couple additional weeks to address even minor preliminary issues, which suggests likely additional subsequent time to handle further processes—and without a response to the question of whether he is willing to speak with us, separate from a general desire to cooperate. Our investigation is moving forward expeditiously and so we would be grateful for some understanding of the relevant issues (especially, though not exclusively, to the extent we may be able to assist in their resolution) and would be happy to speak via phone if a real-time conversation would be more conducive to that discussion. thank you, From: Gary Bloxsome Sent: Monday, January 20, 2020 11:23 To: Cc: ›; I >; Daniel Cundy < ; Jennifer Richardson Subject: Re: U.S. Department of Justice investigation EFTA00022983
Thank you for your email. The Duke of York has made it clear to us that he has a strong desire to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation by the DOJ. It is our responsibility to deal with the various issues and procedures that arise here that will need to be addressed to enable him to do so. We should be able to deal with at least some of the minor preliminary issues in the next two weeks and we will update you on our progress once we have done so.

If it would be convenient for you, we are available at 9:00 local time for us (which I believe would be 14:00 your time). If that works, we can plan to call you at your office line unless you'd prefer we use another number or a conference line. thank you, From: Gary Bloxsome Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2020 11:20 To: Cc: 1 < Cundy < ; Jennifer Richardson Subject: Re: U.S. Department of Justice investigation Thank you for your email. ; Daniel Please confirm whether you would be available for a preliminary telephone call on Friday 10th January 2020.

To respond to your question generally, in connection with our investigation of conduct relating to Jeffrey Epstein and certain of his associates, we wish to request a consensual, voluntary law enforcement interview with your client. Generally, we would expect to inquire about his relationship and communications with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, as well as certain allegations that have arisen publicly and in our investigation to date. Although we recognize we separately have the ability to convey such a request through diplomatic and law enforcement channels, we understand we may also alternatively inquire directly with counsel, when an individual has legal representation. Given your representation, we are inquiring directly with counsel in the first instance. Certainly we can discuss our request in more detail, but we hope this will provide the information you were seeking as a threshold matter, and we look forward to being in touch. Regards, Assistant U.S. Attorney Southern District of New York 212.637.2415 EFTA00022986
