What does this document reveal?

This document reveals the administrative mechanics of the massive discovery process in the Maxwell case. It shows prosecutors carefully managing how evidence was labeled and transmitted to the defense—notably requesting the word 'FBI' be removed from spreadsheet titles before sharing. The Twenty-Fourth Production mentioned indicates the extensive volume of evidence exchanged before Maxwell's December 2021 trial.

What are the 'Denver exports' mentioned in this document?

The 'Denver exports' refer to spreadsheets and data that originated from the FBI's Denver field office. These materials were being prepared for production to Maxwell's defense team as part of pre-trial discovery. The documents were exported 'without thumbnails,' suggesting they contained image references or attachments that were stripped for this particular production.

What was the outcome of the Maxwell case?

Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty on December 29, 2021, on five of six counts, including sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 for her role in conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors between 1994 and 2004.
