CIA FOIA RESPONSE\n\nIn response to a FOIA request for records related to Jeffrey Epstein, the Central Intelligence Agency issued a Glomar response.\n\nA Glomar response states that the agency can neither confirm nor deny the existence of responsive records.\n\nThis response is permitted under FOIA when the very confirmation or denial of records would reveal classified information.\n\nThe Glomar response fueled public speculation about potential intelligence community connections to Epstein.\n\nNote: A Glomar response is a standard CIA practice for many FOIA requests and does not confirm any relationship.\n\nSource: CIA FOIA Office
