Defense counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell requests the Court to order the government to disclose the identities of three alleged victims referenced in the indictment to allow for effective investigation of allegations from 25 years ago. Additionally, the defense requests that Maxwell be moved to the general population at the MDC and given increased computer access to review discovery, arguing her current isolation and surveillance are punitive reactions to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in BOP custody.

EFTA00015902.pdf

This document is an email chain between US Attorneys regarding a judicial inquiry into why Ghislaine Maxwell (at MDC) received significantly better legal access than Justin Rivera (at MCC).

The emails track the drafting of a declaration to explain this to the court by the December 31, 2020 deadline.
