Summary
This document is a page from a legal filing dated September 24, 2020, arguing procedural impropriety regarding how the government obtained Ghislaine Maxwell's confidential civil deposition transcripts. It details that a protective order in 'Giuffre v. Maxwell' specifically excluded language allowing sharing information with law enforcement, yet the government somehow obtained these sealed transcripts to indict Maxwell for perjury. The text questions the legality of the government's acquisition of these documents.

Ms. Maxwell sat for two depositions during discovery in Giuffre v. Maxwell,
the transcripts of which were both designated “confidential” under a court-
ordered protective order. App. 154–59. The transcripts of both depositions were
filed with the court during the course of the case and sealed by the court under the
terms of the protective order.

In turn, the civil protective order prohibited attorneys and parties from
sharing confidential information, including Ms. Maxwell’s depositions, with any
third party, except as necessary for the preparation and trial of the case. App. 155–
56.

As originally proposed by Ms. Giuffre’s attorneys, the protective order
would have allowed plaintiff to share confidential information with law
enforcement. App. 125. Ms. Maxwell objected to this language, which was removed
and never made part of a court order. App. 125 & n.4.

The subpoena.
So if the civil protective order did not allow plaintiff to share confidential
information with law enforcement, and Ms. Maxwell did not provide the
government with her deposition transcripts (which she didn’t), how did the
government obtain them and bring a criminal indictment alleging that Ms. Maxwell
committed perjury?
