Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre appear in court to hash out plan to unseal documents that name MORE high profile individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring

(Jan 16 2020)

The non-parties are to be notified in two weeks, Judge Preska said. Once the non-parties respond, Maxwell and Giuffre’s legal teams will be able to file their oppositions.

Sigrid McCawley, attorney for Giuffre, raised the issue that the next document dump of material would be reflect badly on her client as ‘Maxwell is not objecting to any items that could be negative to Virginia’.

Preska said that she no reason for documents to be withheld ‘to which there is no countervailing interest’ and said they should be released ‘ASAP’.

There is no set date on when the next document dump will be, other than in the ‘near future’.

McCawley said the next step was that the non-parties would be notified in two weeks and ‘get a two-week period to file an objection if they so want’.

‘The Judge will be reviewing those, assessing what she is allowing Maxwell to do which is set forth countervailing interests.’

McCawley said that that 'might be where the battle lies' because Maxwell has set forth an extensive list of reasons why these documents should not be released.

…

‘We will argue against that,’ she added.

>does anyone have the sauce on the 2000+ pages that were blocked from admission though?

I think those were from a previous case that was settled. Due to that case being settled, with some agreement between parties, the doc's entered in THAT case were deemed not automatically subject to the presumption of public access.

They may well be released in this current case though, once the process for categorising them is agreed.
