Court Filing: 218

The document is a court filing by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team responding to the government's April 5, 2021 letter regarding Maxwell's Rule 17 subpoena. The defense argues that the government lacks standing to challenge the subpoena and that the subpoena is necessary to vindicate Maxwell's constitutional right to present a defense. The filing also alleges misconduct by the government in obtaining evidence, including misrepresentations to judges and willful blindness to exculpatory evidence.
