While not substantively revealing, it confirms active case preparation was ongoing in summer 2021.

Who is Brendan Quigley?

Brendan F. Quigley is a partner at Baker Botts LLP in New York. He is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York where he worked in the Securities and Commodities Fraud Unit and Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit. He is also a U.S. Marine combat veteran. His involvement suggests he may have been representing a witness in the Epstein-related proceedings.
