For Ghislaine Maxwell Trial She Cites Halo Effect and Epstein Interview With Bannon As Inner City Press Files To Unseal

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 8 – Ghislaine Maxwell, charged with sex trafficking and other charges, faces a November 29, 2021 trial.

Docketed on November 8 is Maxwell's lawyers' letter describing her proposed expert witnesses and topics, ranging from "highsight bias" and the so-called "Halo effect" (seemingly applied to Jeffrey Epstein - citing a "Confidential" video of Epstein interviewed by Steve Bannon."

  On October 29, she and the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed a flurry of motions in limine, heavily redacted; the Government argued that trial exhibits are not public and will be withheld.

Inner City Press on April 2 wrote to the Court regarding access the arraignment on April 23. Inner City Press live tweeted it here and below.

On October 29, after the flurry of redacted motions, Inner City Press filed formal requests with SDNY District Judge Alison J. Nathan, now on DocumentCloud here:

Re: US v. Maxwell, 20-cr-330 (AJN), timely opposition to blanket requests to seal portions of motions in limine, trial exhibits, public access

Dear Judge Nathan:    On behalf of Inner City Press and in my personal capacity, I have been covering the above-captioned case. This concerns in the first instance the flurry of motions in limine filed earlier this evening, replete with redactions justified by a conclusory reference to Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006).

Now in November, this: PJ police have today arrested an unspecfied number of Portuguese Commandos, and former Commados, suspected of being involved in a criminal organization while on United Nations mission in the Central African Republic.  This extraordinary story is still unfolding.  Over 100 searches have been taking place in Lisbon, Porto, Bragança and Vila Real while authorities are also described as “investigating a complex web of money-laundering” via the purchase of bitcoins and crypto-currency.  This is Guterres' UN - allowing Portuguese troops to rip of Africans, like he allows his son, while banning the Press.

And when Reuters wrote it up, they didn't even mention that Guterres is from Portugal. But there's this: "Defence Minister Joao Cravinho said he informed the United Nations last year." So what happened? How can Guterres get away with these cover ups?
