FBI FOIPA Addendum

As referenced in our letter responding to your Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOIPA) request, the FBI FOIPA Addendum provides information applicable to your request. Part 1 of the Addendum includes standard responses that apply to all requests. Part 2 includes standard responses that apply to requests for records about individuals to the extent your request seeks the listed information. Part 3 includes general information about FBI records, searches, and programs.

Part 1: The standard responses below apply to all requests:

(i) 5 U.S.C. § 552(c). Congress excluded three categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIPA [5 U.S.C. § 552(c)]. FBI responses are limited to those records subject to the requirements of the FOIPA. Additional information about the FBI and the FOIPA can be found on the website.

(ii) Intelligence Records. To the extent your request seeks records of intelligence sources, methods, or activities, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3), and as applicable to requests for records about individuals, PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(1), (b)(3), and (j)(2)]. The mere acknowledgment of the existence or nonexistence of such records is itself a classified fact protected by FOIA exemption (b)(1) and/or would reveal intelligence sources, methods, or activities protected by exemption (b)(3) [50 USC § 3024(i)(1)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that any such records do or do not exist.

Part 2: The standard responses below apply to all requests for records on individuals:

(i) Requests for Records about any Individual—Watch Lists. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any individual’s name on a watch list pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(7)(E) and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(7)(E), (j)(2)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that watch list records do or do not exist.

(ii) Requests for Records about any Individual—Witness Security Program Records. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records which could identify any participant in the Witness Security Program pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(3) and PA exemption (j)(2)[5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(3), 18 U.S.C. 3521, and (j)(2)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that such records do or do not exist.

(iii) Requests for Confidential Informant Records. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of confidential informant records pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(7)(■), (b)(7)(E), and (b)(7)(F) [5 U.S.C.§ 552 (b)(7)(■), (b)(7)(E), and (b)(7)(F)] and Privacy Act exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C.§ 552a (j)(2)]. The mere acknowledgment of the existence or nonexistence of such records would reveal confidential informant identities and information, expose law enforcement techniques, and endanger the life or physical safety of individuals. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that such records do or do not exist.

Part 3: General Information:

(i) Record Searches and Standard Search Policy. The Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS) searches for reasonably described records by searching systems, such as the Central Records System (CRS), or locations where responsive records would reasonably be found. The CRS is an extensive system of records consisting of applicant, investigative, intelligence, personnel, administrative, and general files compiled by the FBI per its law enforcement, intelligence, and administrative functions. The CRS spans the entire FBI organization, comprising records of FBI Headquarters, FBI Field Offices, and FBI Legal Attaché Offices (Legats) worldwide; Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) records are included in the CRS. The standard search policy is a search for main entity records in the CRS. Unless specifically requested, a standard search does not include a search for reference entity records or administrative records of previous FOIPA requests.

a. Main Entity Records – created for individuals or non-individuals who are the subjects or the focus of an investigation

b. Reference Entity Records- created for individuals or non-individuals who are associated with a case but are not known subjects or the focus of an investigation

(ii) FBI Records. Founded in 1908, the FBI carries out a dual law enforcement and national security mission. As part of this dual mission, the FBI creates and maintains records on various subjects; however, the FBI does not maintain records on every person, subject, or entity.

(iii) Foreseeable Harm Standard. As amended in 2016, the Freedom of Information Act provides that a federal agency may withhold responsive records only if: (1) the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by one of the nine exemptions that FOIA enumerates, or (2) disclosure is prohibited by law (5 United States Code, Section 552(a)(8)(A)(i)). The FBI considers this foreseeable harm standard in the processing of its requests.

(iv) Requests for Criminal History Records or Rap Sheets. The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division provides Identity History Summary Checks – often referred to as a criminal history record or rap sheet. These criminal history records are not the same as material in an investigative “FBI file.” An Identity History Summary Check is a listing of information taken from fingerprint cards and documents submitted to the FBI in connection with arrests, federal employment, naturalization, or military service. For a fee, individuals can request a copy of their Identity History Summary Check. Forms and directions can be accessed at . Additionally, requests can be submitted electronically at . For additional information, please contact CJIS directly at .

Good talking with each of you yesterday. IMD is happy to support.

I wanted to share the below, as we seek guidance from the GC on the types of redactions to apply to these documents so we can process the right way out of the gate.

Regardless, we are here and we are ready. Looking forward to welcoming NY and WFO to Winchester today.

Assistant Director

Information Management Division


b7E -3

Thank you

EFTA00163981

Once we nail that down, IMD is ready to process.

We are prepared to receive boxes tomorrow, as NY agents are travelling to WFO in the morning, and will arrive to Winchester where they will start photographing and we will start scanning and processing the physical files. Once I see the volume, I'll have a better estimate of processing times, although I suggest we do a rolling delivery to further demonstrate the FBIs commitment to delivery and transparency.

Tomorrow, I’ll have a recap of historic FOIA cases (# received, # already processed, # active litigations).

Call me anytime.

IMD is working on getting a clean copy of the redaction list forwarded. In the meantime, attached is also an explanation of the FOIA exemptions.

The numbers below regarding litigation and administrative FOIAs reflect a conversation in OGC today – we can confirm those numbers regarding FOIA requests and separate litigation involving Epstein and Maxwell.

I've also added AD here as IMD will be digitizing the documents upon receipt from WFO/NYFO. She can provide additional information from IMD's perspective, including on the number of FOIA requests that are at the administrative stage.

Who at HQ?


FBI(25-cv-2848)-54

EFTA00163986

Ok - call whenever you are on the road to DC

We definitely did not provide anything to DOJ. Just to HQ.

I doubt we have 1as in more specificity, as the descriptions are listed, but will check.

Any chance there is a document summarizing the 1A material in finer detail?

(Justin – did you happen to receive anything from 1A review?)

Also, did you happen to send the results of the below to HQ and/or DOJ at any point? (If not, no worries -- just want to confirm if there are any additional deliverables to provide to DOJ -- to date, we have provided the redaction project, and the 1B Excel summary of video/media content.)

Thank you again,

Great speaking with you, and as follow up to your email and our conversation, please see the below information:

All Epstein-related image/video review has been completed regarding 50D-NY-3027571, 31E-NY-108062, and

FBI(25-cv-2848)-57

EFTA00163987

72-MM-113327, as follows:

50D: 1B136 (responsive material) review was completed, and summarized. (1B144 and 1B145 contained complete images, including non-responsive data, of all evidence processed, and were not reviewed, as this would require a new search warrant. 1B146 contained FBI log files from the CART examination process.)
50D, 31E, 72: review of digital 1As were completed. Summary:


- 31E FBI search warrant execution photos


- FBI interview videos


b7A -1

Maxwell prison security footage
Time-lapsed video footage from an office (no persons identified, and no crimes observed)
Street surveillance footage (no persons identified, and no crimes observed)


- Aerial footage from FBI search warrant execution


- Police interview videos


○ Marketing videos

There are no outstanding reviews.

1B53: MCC video containing 147 cameras (8.08 TB of data) that were active before and after Epstein was found dead. Each video is 24 hours long. The cameras were stationed all over the prison at various locations and angles. They did not capture anything significant related to the suicide since the cameras in the Special Housing Unit, where Epstein was located, were not active at the time.

Thank you, and the team and I are happy to address any questions.

The Director has asked for status of all remaining Epstein-related reviews.

FBI(25-cv-2848)-58

EFTA00163988

Can you let me know what your teams are working on and status.

Also, confirming from my end – 1B is all done (wasn’t there some communication that stated NY was to stop processing 1B outside of the 50-NY case?) Please send that.

Thank you,

Good evening

Following up on our call this afternoon. My team was preparing to send over an inventory of the 1A video as well as the video files from the 1A via Teleporter. All info is being sent on Red.


b7A -1

they should hit your email for distribution to the NY team.

I hope you all have a great weekend and safe travels tomorrow.

Bosses,

Please see FBI New York C-20's draft response to OD request.

For Section III (Timeline), I cannot be absolutely certain what all was provided to DOJ. I included all information provided by C-20 up the chain. I highlighted those items I knew had been provided to DOJ because I was in direct contact or was told specifically.

I believe Section IV (Material Processed) would best be filled in by IMD/RIDS with the exception of (iv.) which I explained.

The only thing missing is IMD's contributions, as well as CID if they have anything to add. I would suggest that our draft be sent to the appropriate HQ equities so they can add to this document, as necessary. They should then send back to FBI NYO for to polish for the final product sent by the ADIC to OD on Monday.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Morning

Keep missing you on Skype. Need your help on two questions I received related to Epstein.

Attached is a media summary we put together back in March, in response to a question of what media was related to Esptein cases.

Questions:

Did NY review the 7 videos and 5 audio files in the 1D/ELSUR material?
Is there any 1B inventory for the 31E-MM files? (Note, the chart only lists 1B material for 50D and 90A, and that was provided by OTD. Regardless of whether material was extracted, the question is if any 1B items exist for the 31E case.)

Thank you, Justin
