This document is a formal legal letter dated August 1, 2019, from Jeffrey Epstein's defense counsel (Steptoe & Johnson LLP) to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the SDNY. The letter requests extensive discovery materials including the specific identities of 'dozens of minor girls' and 'employees' mentioned in the indictment, flight logs ('use of Mr. Epstein's planes'), massage schedules, and visitor logs. The defense also requests 'Brady material' (exculpatory evidence), specifically seeking evidence to support defenses that Epstein believed victims were over 18, that victims deceived him about their age, and that payments were gifts rather than for sex acts.

The attorney distinguishes their client's case from the U.S. v.

This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 21-770, dated April 1, 2021) recording an argument against granting bail to the defendant (identified by case number as Ghislaine Maxwell). The speaker argues that the defendant has been untruthful about her finances, claiming ignorance of her own wealth ('millions of dollars'), and poses a flight risk involving potential foreign travel documents. The prosecution explicitly compares her situation to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, citing Judge Berman's decision to deny Epstein bail based on flight risk and dangerousness.

This is the final page of a legal filing in the Epstein case (1:19-cr-00490) submitted by Kel McClanahan, counsel for MSW Media. The filing argues that the Court should not issue an opinion on the Government's redaction of non-victim PII, as this could negatively influence a separate pending FOIA case. It notes that the Government does not oppose MSW Media's intervention and that the author did not consult with the former defendant's (Epstein's) representatives. The header date appears to contain a typo (reading '25' instead of '19').

This document is page 2 of a legal filing by defense attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, dated June 21, 2022. The defense argues that the sentencing hearing should not be an 'open forum' for alleged victims who were not part of the trial record, specifically naming Ms. Ransome and Ms. Stein as individuals who should not qualify as 'crime victims' under the CVRA for this specific case. The letter distinguishes Maxwell's case from the abatement of the Epstein case and requests advance notice of who will be permitted to speak at sentencing.
