Summary

This document is a discovery letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team, dated August 21, 2020. It outlines the production of various evidentiary materials, including Boies Schiller documents, emails, search warrant photos, Jeffrey Epstein's deposition recordings (2010), travel records, and SORNA records. The letter explicitly notes that 'highly confidential' materials containing sexualized images are being provided only to counsel, not the defendant, and refuses to produce a separate FBI obstruction file regarding a redacted former employee of Epstein deemed irrelevant to the case.

This production includes certain materials from the files of the Florida office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"). The Government notes that the remainder of the Florida FBI
1 Files in PDF format designated as "confidential" under the protective order have been stamped "confidential." However, certain files cannot be individually labeled as confidential on the documents themselves due to their file format. Such files include in their electronic names the word "Confidential."

files are loaded onto an electronic review platform and will be processed and produced on a rolling basis as part of electronic discovery.
Additionally, the Government notes that the physical items referenced in the productions to date can be made available for you to review at the FBI New York office, upon request. Those physical items include numerous hard copies of photographs and discs containing photographs, which were seized during searches of Jeffrey Epstein's residences. As a courtesy, the FBI is in the process of scanning those hard copy photographs and copying the photographs contained on the discs. Once that process is complete, the Government intends to produce electronic copies of any such photographs that do not contain highly confidential images. Any photographs among those physical items identified as highly confidential will be made available for review at the FBI New York office.
Finally, the Government wishes to inform you, as a courtesy, that it is in possession of a copy of the FBI's case file regarding the investigation of a former employee of Jeffrey Epstein's named [Redacted] for obstruction of justice (the "[Redacted] File"). The [Redacted] File is maintained under a different FBI case number from the investigation that led to the charges against your client. The [Redacted] File has no relation to your client and no bearing on the charges in this case. Accordingly, the Government does not intend to produce the [Redacted] File because it is not discoverable in this case.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any difficulty accessing these materials or if you wish to arrange a time to review physical items in the FBI's custody.
Very truly yours,
AUDREY STRAUSS
Acting United States Attorney
