A privilege log exhibit from the Giuffre v. Maxwell civil lawsuit documenting approximately 57 withheld communications between Virginia Giuffre's legal team and law enforcement regarding an ongoing criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.

This is a privilege log entry submitted as Exhibit P in the Giuffre v. Maxwell defamation case (Case No. 1:15-cv-07433). It documents communications between Giuffre's attorneys—David Boies, Stan Pottinger, Sigrid McCawley, Paul Cassell, and Bradley Edwards—and an unnamed law enforcement entity concerning an active criminal investigation of Epstein. The plaintiff invoked 'public interest privilege' under Local Civil Rule 26.2(c) to withhold approximately 57 documents, arguing that disclosing details of ongoing criminal investigations would be overly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of the civil case.
