MARTIN G. WEINBERG1 M ATTORNEY AT LAW EMAIL ADDRESSES: August 13, 2015 FOIPA Public Liaison Officer Federal Bureau of Investigation Record/Information Dissemination Section 170 Marcel Drive Winchester, VA 22602-4483 RE: Request No 1203982-001 (Jeffrey Epstein) Dear Mr. Argall: On May I, 2015, I sent a letter to you, which I have attached, to describe the history of my attempts to have the FBI provide FOIA mandated disclosures relating to the above-numbered request. To summarize, on April 25, 2013, following a finding that 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A) was inapplicable as a basis to withhold all records of past investigations, the FBI reopened the above- numbered FOIA request and stated that it had started its processing and searching for responsive records. On June 24, 2013, on Mr. Epstein's behalf, the FBI was informed that we would pay the costs of copying. As of the date of my May 1 communication, despite the passage of two years, only one single batch of 372 pages (including redactions) had been received by Mr. Epstein. This letter is to supplement my prior communication. It has now been 27 1/2 months since the FBI reopened the Epstein FOIA request and agreed it was required to search through the over 12,000 pages of FOIA-related materials. To date, Mr. Epstein has received just two "batches," the first the 372 page "batch" that was produced on December 16, 2014, and the second interim production numbering 336 pages 5 1/2 months later on May 29, 2015. When we spoke yesterday (August 12, 2015), I inquired as to when I could expect a third interim production. You informed me that the FBI reviewer assigned to the Epstein file had not commenced the processing of any additional materials in the 2 1/2 months following the May 29 production and, further, that any such review was not currently scheduled and would not begin until, at earliest, October of 2015. Given the lengthy delay in commencing this review and EFTA01207624
