Event Details

This is a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice to Judge Alison Nathan regarding the case *United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell*. The Government refutes defense accusations of abandoning discovery deadlines, noting they have already produced 350,000 pages and are preparing to release 1.2 million documents from devices seized from Jeffrey Epstein's residences. The letter also addresses complaints regarding the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) and asserts compliance with the Court's July 15, 2020 scheduling order.

This document is an email thread from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) dated between August and November 2020, coordinating the 'Privilege Review' of digital evidence extracted from Jeffrey Epstein's devices (phones and iPads). The 'Filter Team' discusses copying data to hard drives, mailing them to Lisa Korologos, and generating reports for the prosecution team while removing 'Potentially Privileged' (PP) materials, specifically citing chats with Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke. The team works against a tight discovery deadline of November 9, 2020.

A transcript page from a court hearing dated April 1, 2021, likely involving Ghislaine Maxwell (represented by Mr. Cohen). The defense argues that the client's arrest, detention, and the COVID-19 crisis have made it difficult to provide financial information requested by Pretrial Services, specifically regarding a real estate transaction. The text also notes the government requested until November to complete discovery.

An email chain from October 30, 2020, between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and PAE (an e-discovery contractor). The correspondence concerns the shipment of hard drives containing productions SDNYPROD008 through SDNYPROD014 for the 'US v. Epstein' workspace. The USANYS staff expresses serious concern regarding processing delays (taking 1-2 months), the volume of data (1.2 million records), and the high likelihood of missing a November 9 deadline set by Judge Nathan.

This document is an internal US Attorney's Office (SDNY) email chain dated October 30, 2020, discussing a critical delay in discovery production for the 'US v. Epstein' case. Nicholas Koontz, a lead analyst at contractor PAE, informs the team that 1.2 million records are still being imaged and won't be available until November 2. USANYS staff express frustration that requests made in September are only just arriving, concluding they will likely miss a November 9 deadline set by Judge Nathan.
