DOJ Civil Division
The Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) handled administrative legal processes following Jeffrey Epstein's death, specifically processing Touhy requests for federal records and managing FOIA requests related to the case.
The Civil Division appears in 17 documents primarily as the administrative unit processing formal requests for government records after Epstein's suicide in August 2019. Multiple emails show prosecutors referring attorneys to Civil Division AUSAs to handle Touhy requests (formal requests for federal agency records in civil litigation) and FOIA requests. The division's role was procedural rather than investigative—authorizing the release of Bureau of Prisons records, coordinating with FBI for records production, and managing document preservation holds. Several mentions identify specific AUSAs handling these administrative tasks, with the Deputy Chief coordinating litigation holds to preserve email records.
