About

FBI Special Agent Kelly Maguire testified on Day 6 about leading the July 2019 search of Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence. She identified photographs of the building and its rooms, including a third-floor massage room, and described the recovery and tracking of CDs and hard drives.

Maguire said agents recovered CDs from binders, a drawer, and a safe. She testified that items previously seen in the safe were missing when agents returned on July 11, and that Richard Kahn later returned items in two suitcases after a telephone call. She also identified hard drives found in office bins and said their boxes already bore evidence tape.

On cross-examination, Maguire agreed that the photographs showed the residence as it appeared in 2019 and did not establish its appearance, furnishings, or artwork in the 1990s. She also testified that she had not examined most of the CDs' contents during the search and that, to her knowledge, no items were missing from the inventory returned on July 11.
