Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN) Dear 000 Thud Avenue New Yoek. NY 10022 +1 212 957 7600 phone owswoohensresser corn We write to renew our request that you produce the FBI case file concerning the investigation of We had originally asked for the file in our discovery request letter dated October 13, 2020. You denied our request for the file on October 28, 2020, stating that the file has "no relation to your client and has no bearing on the charges in this case." See 10/28/2020 Letter at 7. Now that the S2 supersedii.dictment has broadened the allegations against Ms. Maxwell up to in or about 2004, Mr. is very much relevant to the charges in this case and the file should be produced. For example, in your letter to defense counsel dated March 29, 2021, you specifically identified several Bates numbers which you say relate to the new accuser referenced in the indictment as Minor Victim-4. Those Bates numbers include messa e ads containing numerous by, by, n that we believe were taken and signed using the initials nil:e ese message pad slips appear to be some of only a handful of documents upon which the nt intends to rely to corroborate the testimony of Accuser-4. Furthermore, Mr. was discussed extensively at the February 29, 2016 meeting between AUS nd attorneys Brad Edwards, Stan Pottinger and Peter Skinner, where the attorneys pitched the government to open an investigation into Epstein and Maxwell. See SDNY_GM_02742882. The notes appear to reflect an explanation of Mr. conduct that formed the basis for his obstruction charge. See id. As you are aware, the discussions at the February 29, 2016 meeting are squarely at issue in Ms. Maxwell's motion to suppress. As such, the information contained in the FBI investigation file will be relevant at any hearing that takes place on Ms. Maxwell's motion and should therefore be produced.
