This legal document, dated July 27, 2020, is a filing to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding a protective order in the criminal case against Ms. Maxwell. The government argues that restrictions on the use of discovery materials—prohibiting their use in civil proceedings or posting online—should apply not only to Ms. Maxwell and her defense but also to the government's potential witnesses and their counsel. This is requested due to concern that witnesses, who are involved in separate civil litigation with Maxwell, will use the discovery materials to support their civil cases or in public statements.
