This document is page 14 of a defense filing (Document 148) in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, dated February 4, 2021. The defense argues that the government is using a specific diary as 'contemporaneous documentary corroboration' against Maxwell to oppose bail, yet refuses to provide the full diary or the author's name to the defense. The filing requests the Court order the government to either produce the complete diary or identify the author so the defense can issue a subpoena before trial.

"the government relied heavily on the diary entries as contemporaneous documentary corroboration of their case against Ms. Maxwell."Source
"But because the government refuses to disclose her name to the defense, we don’t know who to subpoena and will not know until it is too late to obtain the diary in time for trial."Source
"Accordingly, we request the Court to order the government to produce a complete copy of the diary or, in the alternative, to identify the name of the diary’s author."Source
