A September 2021 email from defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim to prosecutors reporting suspicious third-party interference with the secure VTC line used for attorney-client communications with Ghislaine Maxwell at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
This document is an email from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim dated September 2, 2021, formally notifying prosecutors of alleged interference with the confidential video teleconference (VTC) system used for attorney-client communications. According to the email, Maxwell observed suspicious activity on the VTC monitor at the conclusion of a session, which was witnessed by an MDC case manager. Sternheim notes this contradicts the government's prior assurances that Maxwell's legal communication issues had been resolved. The email demands an explanation and evidence of remediation before escalating the matter to the Court.

Thanks. Begin forwarded message: From: BOBBI C STERNHEIM Date: a tember 2 2021 at 3:22:42 PM EDT To: Cc: Christian Everdell Subject: Ghislaine Maxwell 02879-509 Good afternoon- In compliance with the Court's order, dated August 25th (attached), I hereby notify you of recent third-party interference with the "secure" Webex line used for confidential/privileged communication between Ms. Maxwell and counsel. At the conclusion of yesterday afternoon's VTC session, Ms. Maxwell observed suspicious activity on the VTC monitor. She alerted MDC staff, and Case Manageretnessed the activity. This is contrary to the Court's finding that "according to the Government and MDC Legal [Ms. Maxwell]'s difficulties communicating with counsel have been resolved" and contrary to "MDC's Legal assurances that [Ms. Maxwell]'s legal communication has not been interfered with..." Previously, the MDC has disputed such claims concerning interference with VTC communication between Ms. Maxwell and counsel. Now, an MDC insider bears witness to complaint by Ms. Maxwell and counsel. Please provide explanation for this interference and evidence of remediation before I report this latest problem to the Court. Thank you- Bobbi EFTA00032083
