Summary
This document is an email chain from October 2021 in which Jeffrey Epstein's brother (acting as next of kin) requests specific evidence regarding Jeffrey's death from government officials. The brother requests the same information previously released to the New York Times, as well as video footage from outside the SHU on August 9, 2019, lists of inmates on the tier, and identities of staff present when the body was moved. Internal government emails discuss that the requested video is in the custody of the FBI and USAO after being seized from the BOP.

FYI. Do you mind passing this along to your contact? I don't know how much of any of this is appropriate for a FOIA request after the first category but am not an expert. I believe the video is in the custody of the FBI and USAO since we seized it from BOP.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
I submitted the request via the on line website of the BOP as suggested by the person I spoke to there.
The below is what I am requesting at this time.
i am the sole heir and next of kin of JEFFRFEY EPSTEIN, who died while in federal custody at the MCC in NYC.
I am requesting the same information that was released to the New York Times regarding all of the information they requested under the FOIA regarding my brother's case.
EFTA00028094
I would also like a copy of the video tape from the camera outside of the SHU on August 9th 2019, which would show the last time anybody (guards, etc) left the SHU prior to my brother being found dead in his cell the next morning.
This is the tape that then Attorney General Barr publicly stated that he personally watched.
This is the tape that then Attorney General Barr publicly stated that he personally watched.
I would also like a list of the inmates that were on that tier on August 9th, 2019. Also, please provide the information of when they were placed on that tier and when and where they were transferred to if they are not still on that tier.
I would like any information that would reveal the identities of the people in the prison who were directing the action on that tier , and who was in the cell with the EMT's that came after my brother was found dead. I am trying to find out why normal protocol was not followed in that the body of a clearly dead person was moved prior to the medical examiner office being given the chance to photograph the crime scene. I would imagine that there was some sort of incident report filed regarding this matter and I would like that as well.
I would appreciate it if you can get this done in a timely manner.
Thanks,
[Redacted]

Hi Mr. [Redacted]
As I discussed with Ms. [Redacted] over the summer, you would need to submit a FOIA request to the BOP and note that you are specifically requesting what they released to the NYT. You can send me copy of that request once it has been submitted to the BOP and as a courtesy I will ensure that the correct recipient in the Civil Division of our Office has received it. We do not handle FOIA requests in our division.
Best,
[Redacted]
