This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing a legal discussion about the admissibility of a piece of evidence, Government Exhibit 761. An attorney, Ms. Menninger, objects to the admission of the 'financial guarantor piece' of the exhibit, which suggests Mr. Epstein provided financial assistance, arguing the school in question did not rely on it. The judge clarifies that the relevance lies in the indication of assistance itself, leading to a discussion about providing a limiting instruction to the jury.

"Your Honor, they didn't rely on the financial guarantor piece of it, which is what the government is offering for the truth of the matter asserted therein, and that's the piece that we object to."Source
"I'm telling you my rationale at the time for ruling on the objection was that -- the relevance was that the family at the time was indicating that -- whether it's true or not, but that Mr. Epstein was providing financial assistance."Source
"If it was admitted for a limited purpose then, your Honor, I would ask that there be some type of instruction given -- we can take up at the charging conference about the purposes for which that document can be considered by the jury."Source
