Summary

This document is page 19 of a court order filed on June 25, 2021, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court denies Maxwell's motion to suppress evidence obtained via a grand jury subpoena, rejecting her arguments based on the 'Franks' and 'Martindell' legal precedents. The text affirms a previous decision by Judge McMahon to modify a protective order to allow a secret Government investigation into a high-profile matter, noting that while Judge Netburn disagreed, McMahon's decision had a substantial basis and is entitled to deference.
