Notable Quotes 2
Nor does this Order prohibit Defense Counsel from publicly referencing individuals who have spoken on the record to the media or in public fora, or in litigation — criminal or otherwise — relating to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.
The defendant's demand that she and her counsel be permitted to name any individuals who have ever publicly identified themselves as a victim of either Epstein or the defendant in any "public fora," and at any time, without limitation, is extraordinarily broad, unnecessary, and inappropriate, and should be denied.
Red Flags 2
- The defendant's insistence on publicly naming victims who have spoken on the record, even in the past, raises concerns about potential harassment and intimidation.
- The defendant's attempt to restrict the Government's use of its own documents is unusual and potentially obstructive.
