In connection with the investigation of criminal conduct undertaken by Jeffrey Epstein and certain of his associates, we are investigating whether certain individuals undertook actions within the United States that involved the transportation of minors for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual activity. The witness we intend to interview is a citizen and resident of Sweden and currently is unable to travel due to medical issues, but would be a potentially valuable witness in our investigation. Specifically, the witness is the relative of a victim in the investigation, and may be able to significantly corroborate the victim as well as provide additional relevant information, including information required to meet certain elements of the crime(s) being investigated. Given the critical importance of the witness, and the need to fully debrief the witness over a one-day interview, and potentially a subsequent follow-up interview the following day, it is necessary for each of AUSAs Ss travel to Stockholm to participate in the interview. ! (EEBoriginally approved this trip for January 27 through 31st, but approval timelines necessitated rescheduling to the following week. EFTA00074185
