CART did this once last winter, but screwed it up, and we couldn't use it in the format they made for us — the FBI can, so it is possible what she is hearing is that her team has access to some number of these devices. But we have nothing. And I have personally been on calls with the SSA and the CART folks since early April about fixing this problem, and they always promise to do so quickly, and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

I explained to that we just can't mess around with this anymore. She is going to get updated information about status and we will talk again later today (her team told her that we have been provided with roughly 30 of 52 devices, so obviously our information is not matching up). From: (USANYS)::, Sent: Monday, July 6, 2020 8:49 AM To: (USANYS)<> Subject: RE: Epstein search warrant documents Pretty sure it's everything. The estimate references 57 devices, as noted below, I think we're now up to 62, but we're into one of them, so really 61. We can get an updated estimate for the 61 if that would be helpful, but given how much business the PC unit gives he should be good to us on that...

From: (USANYS) Sent: Friday, July 3, 2020 2:50 PM To: (USANYS) < Subject: RE: Epstein search warrant documents Yes, there are a total of 62 devices which can be divided into three main buckets based on how/where we obtained them, the second and third of which are by far and away the biggest: • 1 Phone and 1 iPad seized from Epstein at the time of his arrest on July 6, 2019. The FBI first delivered copies of the extractions from these devices last week. We were able to review the iPad, but we have not been able to open the iPhone data. IS THIS AN FBI TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE IPHONE DATA, OR IS IT THAT IT WAS UN- OPENABLE? • 33 electronic devices seized from the New York residence on July 11, 2019. These include multiple hard drives, multiple computers, multiple USB drives, and multiple iPads. We currently have extractions from/access to none of them. EFTA00026405 • 27 electronic devices seized from the Virgin Islands residence on August 12, 2019. These include multiple computers, multiple iPads, and multiple USB drives. We currently have extractions from/access to none of them.

Thanks 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.

Is there even a rough estimate of when we will get the USVI materials? Or an estimate of when you'll be able to see how many items to export, so we'll have a better sense of when we'll get those?
