It defines 'Highly Confidential Information' as including images of nude or partially-nude individuals and sets forth strict rules for its handling by the defense. The order explicitly states that this information cannot be copied or disseminated and that the Defendant is only permitted to review it under the direct supervision of their defense counsel.
DOJ-OGR-00000590.jpg
This legal document, part of case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB filed on July 25, 2019, establishes the rules for handling "Confidential Information." It dictates that the defendant's counsel is responsible for the secure maintenance of this information and outlines strict limitations on how the defendant can access it and to whom it can be disclosed, such as Designated Persons and Potential Witnesses.
DOJ-OGR-00000588.jpg
This document is page 3 of a protective order filed on July 25, 2019, in the case of United States v. Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490). It outlines strict protocols for handling discovery materials, including requirements for encryption when sharing with staff and a specific prohibition against the Defendant, Government, or Counsel posting any discovery information on the Internet or social media. It also specifies that potential witnesses may view materials for trial preparation but cannot retain copies.
DOJ-OGR-00000580.jpg
This is a page from a court transcript dated July 24, 2019, detailing a discussion between a judge and several lawyers. The conversation covers an agreement between the U.S. Attorney and defense counsel regarding whether trustees or guards will be armed. Attorney Mr. Boies, representing a victim, interrupts to clarify that payments of $250,000 and $100,000 were made by the defendant at a time when a legal proceeding was pending, contradicting a prior statement by the defense.
DOJ-OGR-00000572.jpg
This document is page 62 of a court transcript from July 24, 2019, appearing to be a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). A prosecutor argues against the defendant's request for home detention, describing it as a 'gilded cage' and 'private jail' that necessitates actual detention. The prosecutor also clarifies that the SDNY case was independently investigated by the FBI, CBP, and NYPD, explicitly stating there was no coordination with the Southern District of Florida regarding the initiation of this specific case.
DOJ-OGR-00000561.jpg
This document is page 51 of a court transcript from Case 1:19-cr-00490 (USA v. Jeffrey Epstein), filed on July 24, 2019. A member of the defense counsel is addressing the Judge regarding bail conditions, stating the defendant is willing to accept any monetary conditions, home detention, and monitoring to guarantee his appearance. The speaker also addresses the issue of sealing financial information, conceding that if monetary bail conditions are set, the associated financial information becomes a judicial document to which the public is entitled.
DOJ-OGR-00000537.jpg
Page 27 of a court transcript from Case 1:19-cr-00490 (USA v. Epstein) filed on July 24, 2019. Defense counsel argues for the defendant's release, citing his compliance with past registration (since 2010), jail time, and probation, while asserting that the Southern District of New York was not 'detached' from the Florida non-prosecution agreement. The Judge (The Court) responds by discussing the 'rebuttable presumption' for detention in cases involving children or young people.
DOJ-OGR-00000500.jpg
This document is page 29 of a court order filed on July 18, 2019, in the case against Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The Court rules Epstein's proposed bail package inadequate, primarily because the defense failed to provide audited financial statements or an affidavit from Epstein, submitting only a 'cursory' summary claiming assets of $559,120,954. The judge criticizes the defense's claim that they could not produce accurate financials quickly, calling the excuse 'disingenuous' for someone of Epstein's wealth and financial experience.
DOJ-OGR-00000497.jpg
This document is a page from a government filing (July 18, 2019) arguing against bail for Jeffrey Epstein. It details his immense wealth, listing specific property values totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, and notes the discovery of over $70,000 in cash and loose diamonds in his safe, which the government argues indicates a flight risk. The document also asserts that Epstein previously used employees to facilitate the exploitation of minors in New York and Florida.
DOJ-OGR-00000482.jpg
This legal document, part of a court filing from July 18, 2019, argues against granting bail to Jeffrey Epstein. It details testimony from alleged victim Courtney Wild, who described being abused by Epstein from age 14 and expressed fear for other girls' safety. The filing counters the defense's argument that Epstein is disciplined, asserting instead that his alleged sexual conduct is an uncontrollable, addictive behavior that poses a continued threat to young girls.
DOJ-OGR-00000441.jpg
This court filing from July 2019 addresses supplemental evidence for Jeffrey Epstein's detention hearing, specifically regarding flight risk. The Government notes the discovery of a foreign passport with Epstein's photo but a different name found in his Manhattan safe, alongside a US passport. The document also references a female co-conspirator (protected by the earlier NPA) and other employees who facilitated the trafficking of minors.
DOJ-OGR-00000403.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript filed on July 16, 2019. In it, a judge grants a joint request from the prosecution and defense to adjourn proceedings and exclude the time until Monday, July 15th, from speedy trial calculations. The judge justifies the decision as necessary to prevent a miscarriage of justice and to allow both sides adequate time to prepare, specifically mentioning a 'written bail submission'.
DOJ-OGR-00021051.jpg
This document is a table of contents from a legal filing dated February 28, 2023, related to Case 22-1426. It outlines the arguments for an appeal on behalf of 'Maxwell', alleging multiple errors by the District Court, including the handling of 'Juror 50' in a post-trial hearing, constructively amending the indictment, and applying an incorrect sentencing guideline. The filing seeks to have the sentence vacated and the case remanded for resentencing.
DOJ-OGR-00020954.jpg
This document is page 11 of a court order filed on April 1, 2022, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. It details the Court's assessment of 'Juror 50,' who failed to disclose a history of sexual abuse during voir dire; the juror testified that this history did not affect his impartiality. The document also notes the denial of a defense request to stay the ruling pending the release of a documentary featuring said juror.
DOJ-OGR-00018886.jpg
This court transcript from August 10, 2022, captures a procedural discussion between the judge and counsel (Mr. Rohrbach and Ms. Comey) about Exhibit 52. After confirming no further witnesses will testify about the exhibit, Mr. Rohrbach informs the court of his plan to submit a letter that evening arguing for its admission. The judge instructs him to confer with defense counsel on the matter before the court takes a recess.
DOJ-OGR-00018854.jpg
This is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330, US v. Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. Prosecutor Ms. Moe informs the court that the government anticipates resting its case 'this week.' The Judge grants a request to keep a document under seal to protect the identities of witnesses testifying under pseudonyms and discusses scheduling a charging conference, noting a conflict on the 13th, 14th, and 15th.
DOJ-OGR-00016119.jpg
This page is a transcript from the United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). Prosecutor Ms. Moe argues against the defense's use of screens to highlight documents because the government cannot see the witness's screen without it being mirrored to the public gallery, which poses security/privacy risks. The Court rules that highlighting text on a screen for a witness is permissible provided the action is fully described for the record, similar to reading from paper.
DOJ-OGR-00002273(1).jpg
A formal letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (MDC Brooklyn) to Judge Alison Nathan requesting the vacating of a court order regarding Ghislaine Maxwell. The MDC argues that Maxwell already has significant access to discovery materials (via a dedicated laptop provided in Nov 2020) and extensive communication with her legal counsel, exceeding that of other inmates. The letter refutes defense claims that her confinement conditions are limiting her ability to prepare for trial.
DOJ-OGR-00002252.jpg
This document is page 20 of a court order filed on December 30, 2020, in Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The Court denies the Defendant's request for release, reaffirming that she presents a flight risk and determining that her conditions of confinement at the MDC (including COVID-19 lockdowns) do not violate her constitutional rights or justify release. The text notes that the Defendant has received more time than other inmates to review discovery and communicate with counsel.
DOJ-OGR-00002252(1).jpg
This is page 20 of a court order filed on December 30, 2020, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (identified by case number 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Court denies the defendant's request for release, reaffirming that she presents a flight risk and rejecting arguments that her conditions of confinement at the MDC (specifically relating to COVID-19 lockdowns and attorney access) violate her constitutional rights. The document notes that she has received significant time to review discovery compared to other inmates.
DOJ-OGR-00002194.jpg
This legal document, filed on December 18, 2020, is a response from the Government arguing that the defendant, housed at the MDC, has adequate resources to prepare for trial. It refutes the defense's claim to the contrary by detailing provisions such as daily VTC calls with counsel, access to discovery on hard drives, and the provision of a dedicated laptop. The document also explains how access to this equipment is managed within the MDC, including during a recent period of quarantine.
DOJ-OGR-00002193(1).jpg
This document is page 29 (filed 12/18/20) of a Government opposition to a renewed bail application in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Government argues against release, citing the defendant's multiple foreign citizenships (including a non-extradition country), substantial wealth, and demonstrated sophistication in hiding assets as indicators of extreme flight risk. The document also defends the conditions of confinement at the MDC, noting the defendant has 13 hours a day to review discovery and access to attorney communications.
DOJ-OGR-00002186.jpg
This document is a page from a Government filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) opposing bail for the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell). It details her evasion of FBI agents during her arrest, including fleeing and wrapping a phone in tin foil, and argues she prioritized private security over law enforcement. Additionally, it asserts she was deceptive with Pretrial Services regarding her finances, possessing 'vast resources' far exceeding the $3.8 million she initially disclosed.
DOJ-OGR-00002186(1).jpg
This legal document argues for the defendant's detention by highlighting her deceptive behavior and flight risk. It cites her knowing disobedience of FBI directives when she fled, her attempts to evade law enforcement by wrapping a phone in tin foil, and her significant dishonesty regarding her financial assets, which are believed to be far greater than the $3.8 million she disclosed to Pretrial Services.
DOJ-OGR-00002185(1).jpg
This document is page 24 of a Government filing (Document 100) in the case US v. Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330), filed on December 18, 2020. It argues against bail by highlighting the defendant's evasion of law enforcement, noting that her counsel never disclosed her location despite being in contact with the Government. It details that during her arrest, Maxwell ignored FBI directives and ran away from agents who were clearly identified.
