Summary
This document is a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice to Judge Alison J. Nathan dated November 12, 2021, regarding the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government seeks clarification on two pretrial matters: limiting cross-examination regarding the specific genres of witnesses' acting careers (e.g., action vs. soap opera) to protect their identities, and ensuring the ban on courtroom sketch artists drawing the likenesses of pseudonymized witnesses.
