Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, likely US v. Ghislaine Maxwell) involving the direct examination of a witness named Ms. Brune. The testimony centers on Ms. Brune's reasoning for not further investigating an individual (referred to as 'she') who might have been a suspended lawyer, citing reliance on sworn voir dire responses. The questioning attorney challenges this by pointing out that the indictment itself focused on the misconduct of lawyers and that several codefendants were lawyers.

C2GFDAU1 Brune - direct
1 occurred to you that you could have your team look into this,
2 correct?
3 A. I certainly thought, well, here's this information on
4 Google. Here's the sworn statement. We could have certainly
5 done more. I didn't think it was proper in light of the fact
6 that I didn't think there was anything to the idea that she was
7 a suspended lawyer.
8 Q. Based on what information, actual information?
9 A. I credited her sworn voir dire responses. I went through
10 the reasoning that I described that the note in a way ruled out
11 the idea that she was a lawyer, and matched up with the idea
12 that she was a litigant in the personal injury suit, and it
13 made no sense that a lawyer would sit in a voir dire and lie
14 that way.
15 Q. Did you read the indictment in this case, Ms. Brune?
16 A. I read the indictment in this case.
17 Q. And you understood that much of the indictment focused
18 around the misconduct of lawyers, correct?
19 A. That is certainly what the indictment alleged.
20 Q. And a number of the defendants were lawyers, correct?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. And a number of the cooperators and codefendants who
23 pleaded guilty were lawyers, correct?
24 A. If what you're asking me is --
25 Q. It's a simple question, Ms. Brune.
