Summary
This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing a legal argument over the admissibility of a photograph as evidence. An attorney, Ms. Menninger, objects on the grounds of improper authentication, as there is no witness to testify about the photo's origin or integrity. In response, attorney Ms. Moe argues the photo is authenticated because it is part of a collection seized by the FBI from Jeffrey Epstein's residence, and its relevance is tied to the relationship between Maxwell and Epstein.
