>When asked if he was aware of any blackmail tapes made by Epstein, Dougan was unequivocal:

>Absolutely. They weren’t tapes so much as DVDs. I don’t know if these were footages or not, but every bedroom in Epstein’s houses had multiple cameras in them.

>He used to keep records of everybody. He used to store everything. So the Palm Beach Police Department, they knew that there were thousands and thousands of these DVDs. Except . . . Now, this is very interesting.

“We were like a courier service, so to speak,” he said. “I overheard them talking one time that they had a safe there. Dave mentioned to Larry that Jeffrey called and wanted him to take the stuff that was out of the safe and bring it to him. So I don’t know what it was, but there was a safe in that apartment.”
