This document is an email chain from January 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and BOP/MDC officials. Sternheim urgently requests that time-sensitive legal mail delivered to the MDC be given to Maxwell immediately for review over the Martin Luther King Day weekend. She also requests that Maxwell be granted access to a government-provided laptop because standard MDC computers cannot open the necessary discovery documents, arguing that denial of access hinders Maxwell's defense. The BOP recipient responds that the legal department does not process mail and that BOP policies must be followed.
