This document is page 15 of a legal filing (Document 134) from the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN), filed on February 4, 2021. The text argues that the government colluded with a redacted third party (likely civil plaintiffs) starting in 2016 to engineer perjury charges against Maxwell. It contrasts two judicial rulings: one granting a government ex parte request and another rejecting an identical request in a different civil case, characterizing the government's actions as an attempt to deprive Maxwell of due process.

"Contrary to the government’s misrepresentations, [REDACTED] did foment the investigation (or at least it tried to)."Source
"And the evidence of “collusion” between the government and [REDACTED] was ample, tracing to at least early 2016 and precisely designed to have Maxwell charged with perjury."Source
"[REDACTED] recognized the government’s conduct for what it was: an attempt to deprive Maxwell of notice and an opportunity to be heard."Source
"the bare minimum that is required here is an evidentiary hearing to probe the extent to which [REDACTED] “colluded,” in a Chemical Bank sense, with the prosecutor’s office."Source
