Summary

This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing a legal argument over the admissibility of a photograph as evidence. The defense, represented by Ms. Menninger, objects to the photograph's authentication, while the prosecution, represented by Ms. Moe, argues it was properly seized by the FBI from Jeffrey Epstein's residence. Ms. Moe further contends the photograph's relevance is self-evident as it depicts the relationship between Maxwell and Epstein.

Meder - direct
1 photograph with your iPhone, your phone might save it as IMG
2 and then give it a number. That's the kind of
3 machine-generated data that would pertain to a photo on your
4 iPhone. In this case, this is information that was affixed by
5 a human being.
6 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think I can save us time. I
7 think I told Ms. Menninger the other day we're not planning to
8 offer 332B, at least with respect to that issue, we don't need
9 to resolve that.
10 THE COURT: So let's take them one at a time. 304,
11 which is the one that's been offered. What's the objection?
12 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, with respect to this
13 photograph, there is no witness that will testify when this was
14 taken, if it was prior to the time of the conspiracy, some
15 other time, under what circumstances, and that it hasn't been
16 altered in some way since then. So it is simply a document
17 without a witness to say what it is.
18 MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. I believe the
19 testimony here is that CDs were seized from Jeffrey Epstein's
20 residence, that they were reviewed by the FBI. So with respect
21 to authentication, in terms of offering that these are what we
22 say they are, they are photographs seized from Jeffrey
23 Epstein's residence on CDs.
24 Their relevance is selfapparent, given the contents of
25 the photographs. The relationship between Maxwell and Epstein
