From: Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2020 5:11 PM To: (USANYS) Cc: (USANYS) < ) < Subject: RE: Epstein search warrant documents Following up on the below, I think we've given this our absolute best efforts with FBI — they are now well over a month later than their estimate from April on when we would get the New York materials, they're also past their estimate of getting us the New York materials from just this Monday, and we don't have anything close to an estimate on the USVI materials, which constitute the overwhelming majority of the data and are vastly more voluminous than the New York devices. We have kept pushing the timeline back for this option, hoping that CART will finalize, but I think at this point we should have a vendor do it. Attached is an estimate we got from BRG, which would get everything to us in under a month, and in Relativity-friendly format, in a range of $85-135K. BRG has done this for our office multiple times in the past and are very effective and efficient, and they get the materials we need. And most importantly, they estimate they can do it all in less than a month. May we have approval to seek funding for this? The estimate is attached. Thanks very much.

The biggest stumbling block are the newer Mac items that are in APFS (there are a bunch from the Island,) so it is difficult to estimate how long those will take until I see how many items I have to export.

Most of the NY stuff is done, just Mac items left. This might take a few days as 1 item in particular has over 500,000 emails. We will be able to provide discovery once Defense Council has provided drives for us to copy items over to. This goes quicker as there is no processing involved. I'll let you know when everything is complete.

I expect a judge will ask us about discovery as early as this week. EFTA00031537 Also, the related critical question that I don't think we have clarity on is whether you're giving us a copy of everything that was collected (including reproducing the materials that you previously gave us, but which are not searchable), or have you and I= figured out a way to categorize the prior productions so they're useful for us? We would strongly prefer to just get everything at once in a usable format, but please let us know if you expect to produce materials differently than that. thanks, From: (NY) (FBI) <M > Sent: Friday, June 19, 2020 13:14 To: (USANYS) [Contractor] < Cc: (USANYS) .

I need drives to put things on like and I discussed earlier. Once I have those drives, it will take me a couple days to copy stuff. LMK when I can expect the drives. Thanks.

Let's keep in touch both on timing and also on whether there's a way to identify and categorize what's already been produced, or if we'll need to just get all the raw data at this stage and go from there.

If we can't make heads or tails of the stuff I've already produced, we'll do it again. They have told us that our staffing levels will be steadily increasing over the next few weeks, but I'm going to have to push back my estimate by a week or 2. Sorry
