Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. Attorneys Ms. Moe (Prosecution) and Ms. Menninger (Defense) argue before the Court regarding the admissibility of testimony from a witness named Brian, specifically concerning his communications with a 'Jane' and the late timing (3 AM) of the government's disclosure of notes to the defense. The Judge questions whether the late disclosure warrants the exclusion of testimony or simply provides grounds for cross-examination.

1 With respect to his communications with Jane, we

22 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I have not had time to
23 research this. I think that the disclosure came in around 3

25 up, I have not had time to research that question between when
