From: (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) <(b)(6)@(b)(7)(C).com> To: BOP-IPP/Public Affairs <BOP-IPP/PublicAffairs@bop.gov>, (b)(6): @(b)(6)@bop.gov (b)(6) @(b)(6)@bop.gov Subject: Epstein/Washington Post question Sent: Mon, 26 Aug 2019 18:59:46 +0000 Hi— (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) from the Washington Post here. We are in the process of working on a story about the cameras outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the morning of his death. The story will assert that the data in those cameras was found to be corrupted/unreadable, though it is being sent to Quantico for further analysis. Can the BOP comment on that assertion? Is the functionality of cameras a larger issue at BOP or MCC? Are you able to say what other cameras might have captured that night to support the assertion that Mr. Epstein killed himself? Thank you, (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) | The Washington Post (202) 629-(b)(6) (cell) DOJ-OGR-00023544
