Summary
This page from a legal filing dated July 21, 2020, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan, argues that government officials (Ms. Strauss and FBI Agent William Sweeney) and private attorneys (David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, and Bradley Edwards) made prohibited, prejudicial public statements regarding Ghislaine Maxwell. The document cites specific quotes comparing Maxwell to a 'snake' and 'villain,' as well as speculation about her potential cooperation with prosecutors to implicate other 'wealthy and influential people.' The filing asserts these comments violate Local Rule 23.1.
