Re: Freedom of Information Act Request No. 2019USMS34199 
Subject: Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Requester: 
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responding to your Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) request for agency records pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein.

FOIA Exemption (b)(7)(F) protects law enforcement information that "could reasonably 
be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual." 5 U.…
