CIA responds to Epstein's FOIA, revealing he was probing to see what they had about his potential connections to the agency. CIA tells his legal team they searched "CIA-originated responsive records that might reflect an open or otherwise acknowledged Agency affiliation existing from 5 November 1999, the date of our previous acceptance letter to 25 July 2011, the date we accepted Mr. Epstein's current request. We were unable to locate any information or records." But "With respect to responsive records that would reveal a classified connection to the CIA, in accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, as amended, the CIA can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to your request."
