This legal document argues that the government's representations about when it began its investigation were false. It provides evidence that attorneys from the law firm Boies Schiller, including David Boies himself, approached the government in 2016 to urge an investigation into Epstein and Maxwell for sex trafficking and perjury, citing evidence from abused clients. A quote from David Boies details the extensive evidence they claimed to possess about a "massive sex trafficking ring."
