From: "- To: Gary Bloxsome Cc: Richardson" Subject: RE: U.S. Department of Justice investigation Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 22:58:46 +0000 Inline-Images: image00 I .jpg; image002.jpg Gary, Our understanding is that U.S. Attorney Berman made a factual statement in response to a specific question that suggested the Duke of York either would or was cooperating, and he responded that to date he has not in fact provided cooperation with our investigation. That is, he corrected the record generally in a factually accurate statement; I don't believe this would create a misleading impression. I appreciate that you have advised us that your client has a desire to cooperate, and we look forward to hearing from you when he has made a determination as to whether he is in fact willing to speak with us. Regards, From: Gary Bloxsome Sent: Monday, January 27, 2020 13:44 To: Cc: Subject: Re: U.S. Department of Justice investigation The press are reporting that Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York has disclosed what we understood were confidential communications between us and and ; Daniel Cundy ; Jennifer Richardson It has also been suggested that Geoffrey S. Berman has stated that the Duke of York has not co-operated with the Southern District. As you know we have made it very clear that the Duke of York has a strong desire to cooperate with the ongoing investigation by the DOJ and we are trying to reach a position where we are able to advise him to do so. We are concerned about the misleading impression that has been created and the effect this has on our ability to advise the Duke to proceed with any voluntary co-operation. Please confirm that the DOJ will not be making any further public statements on this topic. Thank you.
