Summary
This document is a Memorandum of Law filed by the United States Government opposing Defendant Michael Thomas's motion to compel discovery in the criminal case regarding the falsification of records connected to the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The Government argues that it has already met its discovery obligations under Rule 16, Brady, and Giglio, and that the additional materials Thomas seeks—including OIG drafts, BOP records, and evidence of selective prosecution—are either not in the prosecution team's possession, are privileged, or are irrelevant to a valid legal defense, serving instead only to support an improper jury nullification strategy.
