For procedural purposes, I have contacted the Office of General Counsel (OGC) concerning the below request, and I will furnish the documentation upon an OGC response. I have taken the liberty to include the additional information regarding my tenure at MCC New York.
For further clarification:
I began working at MCC New York on July 8, 2019.
Effective August 5, 2019, I assumed responsibility of Correctional Services; however, I was on annual leave from August 5-7, 2019, and did not assume responsibility until August 8, 2019, which is two days prior to the incident in question. Additionally, I did not have oversight of the Facilities Department during the aforementioned dates nor during the time frame it was noted there were camera issues. Nor was I informed of any systemic camera issues. see attachment
Thank you for providing the signed OIG Warnings and Assurances Form in your below email, and thank you for the information you provided during your interview earlier today. As per my request during your interview, I respectfully request that you provide me via email with all documentation you obtained with regard to the Epstein matter that occurred in August 2019. Specifically, please provide any and all information and documentation you obtained/collected following Epstein being found unresponsive in his cell on August 10, 2019, any and all information and documentation you obtained/collected with regard to inmate transfer from the MCC on August 9, 2019, and any and all information and documentation you have with regard to MCC cameras system issues that occurred on, around, and between August 8 and 10, 2019.
Thank you again for your cooperation with this matter. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

10-4. Speak to you on Thursday.
Great, thank you. Also, since we will not be in person, I have attached the form we are providing to all employees we are speaking with regarding this matter. We are required to provide this form to employees when we (the OIG) interview them. We will review the form at the start of the interview. Its purpose is to let you know it’s a voluntary interview. Can you please have it ready to be signed, dated, and scanned to me at the start of the interview? That will help speed things up so you don’t have to print it after we start speaking. Please feel free to call in advance if you have any questions with regard to the form.
Thanks again and I look forward to speaking with you on Thursday morning.

That's fine. I would be requesting administrative leave, not my personal leave.
Thank you for your prompt response. You should not need to take leave. This is an official DOJ investigation so you should be able to speak with me during your regularly scheduled work hours. However, I will need to get back to you with regard to meeting in person. As mentioned, I had thought you were in New York City, and getting to AR may be a little difficult. I will be in touch sometime early next week with confirmation. With that being said, let’s please plan to speak sometime the week after (between December 7th and 9th).
Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving!
Best,

I was transferred from MCC New York in September and am currently working at FCC Forrest City, AR. I can be available next week on Tuesday-Thursday or the following week on Tuesday-Thursday. I don't have any plans for travel so I will be in town. From below, are you planning to travel here to AR or due to my location will the interview be via telephone? I will request admin leave on whatever day the interview is scheduled for?

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to request your assistance related to an investigation that my office is conducting. I'm hoping we can sit down and go over a few things, to include going over the documentation that you may have gathered immediately following an incident at the MCC on August 10, 2019. Do you have time to sit down and speak with me either next week or the week after? I would personally prefer any day between Tuesday and Thursday since I would be coming in from out of town, but I'd be happy to try and accommodate your schedule as best as possible. With that being said, can you please confirm your location? The directory says that you are currently an AW at FCI Forrest City, but I was of the understanding that you were still in New York City.
Please contact me on the below listed telephone number if coordination by that method would be easier, or if you have any immediate questions or concerns. Thanks very much in advance.
Sincerely,
