This document is a transcript of a sidebar conference during the cross-examination of witness A. Farmer (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense (Ms. Menninger) attempts to introduce an August 2019 email from the witness to a New York Times reporter to impeach the witness's memory regarding the date of a 2007 meeting with the FBI. The defense argues this reflects on her ability to recall events from 1996, but the prosecution (Ms. Pomerantz) objects on grounds of collateral matter/extrinsic evidence, and the Court sustains the objection.
