Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)\nDear Judge Nathan:\nThe Government respectfully submits this letter seeking clarification on two items from the November 1, 2021 pretrial conference.\nFirst, when describing the defendant's ability to cross-examine witnesses who will be testifying under pseudonyms, the Court explained that:\nAll lines of inquiry the defense outlined in its response are available without disclosing specific names of employers or other specifically identifying information. For example, the defense can probe the genre, nature, and trajectories of witnesses' careers without eliciting the specific employer name, but the defense's cross-examination should not include specifically identifying information, and counsel must act responsibly doing so.\n(11/01/21 Tr. at 11:20-12:2). The Government seeks clarification before trial about the line between permissible and impermissible cross-examination.\nDOJ-OGR-00006950",
