This document is page 3 of a letter from the Government to Judge Alison J. Nathan in the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell (referenced as 'the defendant'). The Government argues against modifying a protective order, stating that the defendant should not be allowed to use materials from criminal discovery in her various civil cases, as this would violate witness privacy and jeopardize an 'active' ongoing grand jury investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators. The text highlights that the same defense counsel represents the defendant in both civil and criminal matters, raising concerns about the inappropriate use of confidential discovery materials to defend against abuse accusations by civil plaintiffs.
