Summary
This document is page 43 of a court transcript from the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330), dated December 10, 2020.

1 I do want to note, before I go further, to pick up on
2 something the court said. We have a proceeding now where the
3 government is dribbling out facts or what they claim are facts
4 that they could have and should have put in their opening
5 memorandum so we would have had an opportunity to address them
6 in writing before the court. That's not how this is supposed
7 to proceed, your Honor, and I thank your Honor for pointing
8 that out. Each --
9 THE COURT: But, Mr. Cohen, please, by all means, you
10 have had the reply in the time that I have as well. You
11 shouldn't hesitate to respond to any of those facts now.
12 MR. COHEN: I appreciate that, your Honor, and I'm
13 going to proceed by proffer. I would have preferred to be able
14 to submit something in writing, but obviously the way it was
15 done, we were deprived of that chance.
16 I also want to make clear that our client is not
17 Epstein. She is not the monster that has been portrayed by the
18 media and now the government. She is part of a very large and
19 close family, with extensive familial relations, extensive
20 friendships, extensive professional relationships. Many of
21 these folks are on the call today, your Honor, and thank you,
22 your Honor, for making that available, though not identified,
23 which is something one would normally do in a traditional bail
24 hearing, because of the very real concern that they have and
25 our client has about her safety and about her privacy and her
