Prosecutor's emails with defense counsel about a July 2008 grand jury appearance

An assistant U.S. attorney's emails with an attorney about a witness's grand jury appearance, travel reimbursement, and conditions for immunity ahead of testimony.Machine-written summary

EFTA00190492

Dear Mr. White:

Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. travel costs to be reimbursed, they must be made through the government’s approved agency on the approved carriers.

Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. to determine the limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide me with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to criminal liability, then I can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an attorney statement made in the course of confidential plea discussions and related negotiations, and would be governed by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(f) and Fed. R. Evid. 410.

We will be there, and I will make the travel arrangements. I am assuming that this will be done in connection with an order of immunity. Please let me know if that is correct so I can advise Ms. Thanks.

Subject: Grand Jury Appearance

Dear Mr. White:

Ms. will need to appear before the grand jury on July 1 st to give testimony. Please contact my assistant, Shawn Ball, at 561 820-8711, ext. 3037, to make travel arrangements. I expect that Ms. testimony will begin either in the late morning or early afternoon, but she should be available for the whole day.

Thank you.
