Event Details

An email chain from May-June 2020 between unidentified individuals, likely within law enforcement or a legal team, discussing the Netflix documentary 'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich'. The correspondents critique Graydon Carter's appearance in the series and explicitly mention that the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed 'making decisions on the other folks' (presumably Epstein associates), noting that these subjects are not considered 'ongoing threats to public safety'.

This document is page 6 of 7 from a court filing dated July 2, 2020 (Case 1:20-mj-00132-AJN). The text outlines the court's decision to implement a 'partial closure' of the courtroom, conducting the hearing via video and telephone conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The court cites 'United States v. Alimehmeti' as precedent for limiting physical access while maintaining public access via other means (telephone).

This document is page 14 of a government filing (Document 220) from July 13, 2020, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The text argues against granting bail, citing the defendant's vast financial resources, lack of ties to the US, and motivation to flee to a non-extradition country. It also specifically argues that the COVID-19 pandemic does not justify her release, citing precedent from other cases in the district.

This page from a legal filing (dated April 1, 2021) argues for the temporary release of a defendant (likely Ghislaine Maxwell, based on the case number context) by citing legal precedents established during the COVID-19 pandemic. It references *United States v. Clark* and *United States v. Robertson* to establish that courts have granted release under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) when incarceration impedes the defendant's ability to prepare their defense. A footnote notes that the 10th Circuit stayed the release order in the *Robertson* case pending appeal.

This document is page 6 of a court order filed on December 28, 2020, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The text details the Court's rejection of the Defendant's motion for release, despite her offers to pay for private security, waive extradition rights from the UK and France, and arguments regarding COVID-19 risks in confinement. The Court concludes that no combination of conditions can reasonably assure the Defendant's appearance.

This document is page 6 of a court order filed on December 30, 2020, in Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), denying a renewed motion for bail. The text outlines the Defendant's proposals for release, including paid private security, waivers of extradition from the UK and France, and arguments regarding COVID-19 conditions in jail. Despite these arguments and new financial information, the Court concludes that no conditions can reasonably assure the Defendant's appearance.

This document is page 16 of a court filing (Document 589) filed on March 24, 2021, in the case of United States v. Schulte (Case 1:17-cr-00548-PAC). The text details the Court's rejection of Schulte's arguments that the Jury Plan systematically excludes African Americans and Hispanic Americans. The Court rules that factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the frequency of people moving residences, and the use of voter registration lists do not constitute constitutional violations under the Sixth or Fifth Amendments.

This document is page 9 of a court order filed on September 14, 2020, granting a stay in a civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The court rules that proceeding with civil discovery would prejudice Maxwell due to her concurrent criminal prosecution (raising Fifth Amendment issues) and the restrictive detention conditions at the MDC during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hinder her ability to consult with counsel.

This document is page 6 of a court filing (Case 1:20-mj-00132-AJ) dated July 2, 2020. It discusses the court's decision to implement a partial closure of the courtroom, conducting the hearing via video and telephone conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The court argues this is necessary for public health and cites United States v. Alimehmeti as a precedent for partial closures.
