Notable Quotes 2
We perceive no legal basis for you to refuse to produce the records; the records have previously been released to a news media outlet, "relate to" the investigation and prosecution of Ms. Maxwell's alleged co-conspirator, and are in the government's "possession, custody, or control."
We believe that the FBI-New York Office participated in the USAO-SDFL investigation by, inter alia, arranging for interviews and testimony of certain New York witnesses between 2005 and 2010.
