Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on March 24, 2022. It features the direct examination of Ms. Brune (a former AUSA), questioning her decision not to alert the Court about Google search results regarding a juror found around March 12th. Brune testifies that she did not report it because she relied on the juror's sworn statements claiming to be a 'stay at home wife,' leading Brune to believe the search results referred to a different person.
