'They Are Shredding Everything': Prison Officer Alerts FBI After Massive Bags of Documents..
A new investigative report has exposed how a corrections officer told the FBI that massive bags of documents were being shredded at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in the days after Jeffrey Epstein's death there on August 10, 2019.
The Miami Herald published the bombshell story on Friday, after analyzing thousands of pages from the Epstein files.
An inmate identified as Steven Lopez was directed to haul multiple bags of shredded material, described as "bales," to a dumpster at the jail's rear gate on August 15 and again on August 16.
Lopez told a veteran corrections officer, Michael Kearins, "They are shredding everything back there," according to the report.
Kearins, who said he had "never seen this amount of bags of shredded documents coming out to be put in the dumpster," contacted the FBI's National Threat Operations Center on August 16 at 6:28 p.m. to report the unusual shredding.
In a follow-up memo dated August 19, he wrote that the shredding appeared inappropriate and urged an investigation: "I believe that this conduct may be inappropriate for an investigative team to be shredding paperwork related to the investigation, and you may want to investigate why BOP employees are destroying records."
The Herald reports:
An inmate at the jail was ordered to take the bags of shredded material to MCC's rear gate and throw them in a dumpster on Thursday, Aug. 15, and again on Friday, Aug. 16, days after Epstein's Aug. 10 death, records show. The sheer volume of material seemed unusual, the inmate noted.
"They are shredding everything," the inmate told one of the guards, adding that he was asked to give the officials, whom he did not recognize, a hand with the shredding.
"Make sure you get that box too," one of the men allegedly told him.
The inmate wasn't the only one who found it out of the ordinary. A corrections officer at the detention facility called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center that same night, a Friday, at 6:28 p.m. to report that he had "never seen this amount of bags of shredded documents coming out to be put in the dumpster at the rear gate of MCC."
A back gate corrections officer was also troubled by what he witnessed as the inmate brought down "bales" of shredded paper, according to a memo he wrote to investigators three days later, on Monday, Aug. 19.
