The team made an initial discovery production on or about August 21, 2020, and is
working on a second discovery production of electronic materials in the coming
month. The team is also working with the USAO-SDFL, OPR and the West Palm
Beach Police Department among other sources to obtain and review materials
relevant to the prior investi ation. Additionally, the team is in the process of
reaching out to counsel for to begin initial discussions about the possibility of
a felony disposition. We are a so continuing to pursue a potential interview with
Prince Andrew, and after his counsel declined to make him available for a voluntary
interview, we notified OIA that we wished to proceed with an MLAT. We
completed discovery in November 2020. Maxwell's second bail application was
denied in December 2020. Pretrial motions were filed in late January and include
anticipated motions to dismiss the indictment based on the NPA or, alternatively, the
statute of limitations; motions to suppress materials obtained from Boies Schiller
pursuant to grand jury subpoena and from the civil case; and various discovery
related motions, including ones seeking a bill of particulars and/or early production
of Giglio and 3500 material. On February 26, the team filed an omnibus brief in
opposition to the defendant's pretrial motions. A reply brief is due on March 15.
Maxwell has also recently filed a third bail motion. Our brief in opposition is due
March 9. Trial has been adjourned to the fall of 2021. Judge Nathan recently
denied Maxwell's pretrial motions but deferred ruling on a suppression motion
related to materials obtained via a subpoena to a law firm. Maxwell's bail
appeal to the Second Circuit was recently denied as well.
