About

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

Maguire testified that CDs were recovered from binders, a drawer, and a safe. She said 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 testified that their boxes already bore evidence tape.

On cross-examination, Maguire agreed that the photographs reflected the residence when she was there in 2019 and did not establish how it appeared in the 1990s. She testified that she had not examined most CD contents during the search and, to her knowledge, saw no missing items in the inventory returned on July 11.
