EFTA00164100 — Two days after Massie's hearing, the FBI's Office of Public Affairs circulated an internal briefing note ("The Horizon") under the classification header "UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY":
Canadian Billionaire: OPA — Received inquiries about the identity and potential investigation of an alleged Canadian billionaire claimed to have been mentioned in FD-302s associated with the Epstein investigation during the House Judiciary hearing earlier this week. OPA declined to comment.
This is the first known FBI document acknowledging the "Canadian billionaire" allegation. It confirms: (a) the victim interview summaries are FD-302s — the FBI's formal witness/victim interview report format; (b) the FBI recognized the allegation as a "national issue" warranting internal tracking; (c) the Bureau declined to confirm or deny the existence of such FD-302s. The document was released as part of the EFTA corpus, suggesting it was collected during the broader Epstein investigation document production.
