Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1332-1 Filed 01/08/24 Page 37 of 42
omitted).
Even today, Defendant claims that after running over 200 key search terms, some of which
include the names of her admitted close friends and boyfriend, she has not located a single
responsive document. The only conclusion that can reasonably be drawn is that she has deleted
relevant documents — not simply her “spam” documents, as she would have the Court believe. It
is implausible that she would not have any responsive documents after running these search
terms. Courts allow a forensic review of the electronic data including e-mail accounts to
determine whether a deletion program has been run and to show the number of hits yielded by
the search terms, and to provide a sampling to the Court to evaluate whether there indeed are
responsive documents within the search term hits. Of course, by refusing to disclose even the
name of her account on the Epstein server, let alone attempt to collect it, any such exercise would
be futile.?
Defendant has set a course of failure to meet her discovery obligations, and with this
Response Brief, * she continues that tack: she fails to even identify what email addresses she used
3 Defendant should be required to provide access to her accounts and her electronic data to an
independent third party forensic reviewer to perform these searches to determine, among other
things, the date range of the accounts, whether deletion programs have been utilized on the
accounts, and whether there are search term hits in the e-mail accounts and electronic data. Ms.
Giuffre, at the Court’s direction, can submit a forensic review protocol for the Court’s
consideration.
