Email correspondence between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorneys and federal detention officials regarding her daily legal video teleconference (VTC) access while detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in December 2020.
This document is internal email correspondence from December 2020 between Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team and officials at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn. The emails concern scheduling of Maxwell's legal video teleconferences (VTCs), which replaced in-person legal visits due to COVID-19 restrictions. The correspondence shows Maxwell's attorneys urgently seeking confirmation of daily VTC sessions from 12:30-3:30 PM on weekdays, after being told she had no legal calls scheduled on a particular day. The emails include standard legal confidentiality disclaimers and COVID-19 office closure notices from the law firm.
