‘We brought a saw’: FBI found diamonds, cash, passports, CDs and hard drives after cracking open safe in 2019 raid on Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse
FBI "cleaner" Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, testified Monday that her team found the safe in a dressing room on the building's fifth floor. The mansion had forty rooms and took about 12 hours for her team to fully search.
Asked by a prosecutor at the trial whether the safe was open, Maguire answered: "We brought a saw." Prosecutors showed jurors and members of the public a photo of the safe, dragged by FBI agents to the middle of the dressing room. The hard drives Maguire said were found inside were piled on top of it. It also held jewelry, diamonds, CDs, and multiple passports, Maguire testified.
Maguire said that the scope of the search warrant didn't permit the agents to seize the hard drives and CDs, so she left them atop the safe.
When she got a broader warrant and returned to retrieve them, they were gone...
Imagine that...
