Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell) detailing a sidebar conference. Prosecutor Comey argues that FBI Agent Young should be allowed to testify about non-suggestive interview training to rebut defense claims (supported by Dr. Loftus) that witness memories may have been implanted via leading questions. The Judge expresses skepticism, suggesting the line of questioning is 'beyond the scope' and risks 'opening the door' to broader issues regarding interview conduct.
