Mr. Epstein's death? A I think it came virtually every day I found out more information. You know, I was obviously covering it very quickly and wanted to rule out anything other than suicide, and so pertinent information was flowing to me pretty consistently. Q And it was -- and -- A The FBI was conducting an investigation, and the Southern District was involved in that. And I -- the -- within an hour or minutes of finding out about it, I directed the IG to have people in New York go to the scene and conduct an investigation -- start an investigation. Q And you've already said that, you know, you reviewed security camera footage. Obviously, there was a previous suicide attempt that probably had psychologist notes and things that were available to the FBI and BOP to review and the IG to review. Were there any other things that you reviewed specifically? A I've -- from time to time, I would -- I would review photographs when people were discussing things that were pertinent. I may have seen -- I think I may have been shown logs that were apparently, you know, erroneously filled out by the corrections officers, things like that. The systems were explained to me from time to time. The BOP was also conducting their own investigation. So there was sort of three investigations going on at once. Q And it was kind of the culmination of all the information that was provided to you that led to the judgment that it was a suicide? A Yes. Well, over time, it became clearer and clearer to me that it was undoubtedly suicide. And. As I say, the video was probably the last thing that I looked at -- or, you know, in reaching that conclusion. Q Do you recall viewing any specific documents during that time period, like the coroner's report or -- A I did review the coroner's report.
