Summary
This document is an internal email chain among SDNY prosecutors dated December 21, 2020. It discusses a legal issue in the case *United States v. Rivera et al.*, where Judge Engelmayer expressed frustration that defendant Justin Rivera (at MCC) received significantly less access to discovery and legal counsel compared to Ghislaine Maxwell (at MDC). The emails detail the stark difference in hours allowed (91 hours/week for Maxwell vs 21 hours/week for Rivera) and mention the seizure of 60 devices and an entire FBI file from a prior Florida investigation in the Maxwell case.
