To the extent it might be helpful to keep what press are in the room (or generally around) at bay, I have no problem doing that.

Sure - if you think it’s helpful to be there. There is a whole protocol around seats. I believe we have a government row and Damian and Margaret are coming too.

Understood, thanks. If you feel it would be helpful to have someone from the press office in the courtroom for openings, just let us know. I’ve mentioned it to Eric Blachman, I believe he’s reserved a seat.



I don’t think we know exactly. Parties will be there at 8:30 and apparently the jury too. But not sure when things will actually start.

Awesome, thanks. Are we able to provide a time if I also include the following?

9:30 a.m. – Jury charge followed by opening statements in U.S. v. Ghislaine Maxwell – the defendant is charged in connection to conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to entice minors to travel to engage in criminal sexual activity – before Judge Alison Nathan (Courtroom 318, 40 Foley Square [overflow Courtrooms 110, 506, 905, and 906 of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse]).

Before circulating this shortly, just wanted to check to see if any other orders or info worth including have happened between Wednesday and today? Thanks!

- ADDITIONAL OFF-THE-RECORD GUIDANCE: Please note the Court has ruled that several of the government's witnesses, who are not alleged victims themselves, may testify under pseudonyms because the disclosure of their identities would ostensibly reveal the identities of the alleged victims. I believe most, if not all, news media outlets have a policy against identifying sex crime victims without their consent, and again urge you to abide by that policy with our witnesses and respect their privacy.
