A hostile letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Vanity Fair journalist Vicky Ward, responding to her inquiries for an article. Epstein disputes ownership of a specific property (#11), addresses transfer taxes for another (#9), and aggressively attempts to discredit a female accuser (name redacted) who stayed at his Ohio property in 1996. He alleges the accuser committed financial misdeeds and theft, citing a State Trooper as a witness, and argues her claims of feeling 'uncomfortable' are a cover for her misconduct.
EFTA00011115.pdf
This document is a legal memorandum filed on October 13, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in the Southern District of New York.

They request the Court allow individual sequestered voir dire and limited attorney-conducted questioning to identify and remove biased jurors.

This document is a legal memorandum filed on October 13, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in the Southern District of New York.
