EFTA00018572.pdf

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.

EFTA00018515.pdf

This document is a legal memorandum filed by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team arguing against the government's motion for detention and requesting release on bail. The defense argues that the COVID-19 pandemic poses a severe health risk and impedes defense preparation, and asserts that Maxwell is not a flight risk, citing her presence in the U.S. since Epstein's arrest. They propose a $5 million bond secured by UK property and strict conditions including home confinement and GPS monitoring.

EFTA00017832.pdf

This document is a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice to Judge Alison Nathan opposing Ghislaine Maxwell's requests for early disclosure of witness names and court intervention in her confinement conditions. The Government argues the requests are premature given the trial is 11 months away and discovery has just begun, noting they have already produced over 165,000 pages of evidence. The letter also defends the Bureau of Prisons' protocols for Maxwell, stating her monitoring is appropriate for a high-profile inmate facing significant prison time and confirming she has been granted extensive daily access to review discovery materials.

EFTA00017109.pdf

This document is a transcript of a court hearing in the case of United States v. Nicholas Tartaglione. The proceedings focus on a motion by media organizations (NY Post, Daily News, NY Times) to unseal letters regarding Tartaglione's housing conditions at the MCC and MDC. The Judge rules against the Bureau of Prisons and orders the letters unsealed, citing the public interest in BOP conditions and the fact that Tartaglione's background (and connection to the Epstein incident) is already public knowledge. The hearing also touches on trial scheduling and the government's decision not to seek a warrant for a specific telephone.

EFTA00017095.pdf

A formal letter from David McCraw, General Counsel for The New York Times, to Judge Kenneth Karas arguing for the unsealing of judicial records in United States v. Tartaglione. The records concern Nicholas Tartaglione's request to be transferred from the MCC due to threats from guards, allegedly stemming from his witnessing of his former cellmate Jeffrey Epstein's attempted suicide. The NYT argues that public interest and First Amendment rights outweigh the Government's desire to keep the Bureau of Prisons' internal deliberations secret.

EFTA00016736.pdf

This document is a letter from defense attorney Bruce Barket to Judge Kenneth Karas requesting an evidentiary hearing regarding the destruction of surveillance video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). The missing video allegedly depicted the outside of the cell shared by Nicholas Tartaglione and Jeffrey Epstein during Epstein's suicide attempt on July 23, 2019. The defense argues this video is exculpatory for Tartaglione's sentencing mitigation, while the Government has admitted that the MCC inadvertently preserved the wrong video and that the backup system failed due to technical errors.

The defense argues for the disclosure of the identities of Victims 1-3 and protests the harsh confinement conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell at the MDC.
