(\"The rule in this Circuit has long been that 'missing peripheral witnesses are not enough[.]'\" (quoting Rubin, 609 F.2d at 66)).\n\nThe defendant also claims to have suffered prejudice regarding what she calls \"critical documentary records\" that were no longer available to challenge certain Government assertions or \"test critical dates.\" (Def. Mot. at 25, 27). She specifically points to the unavailability of certain flight records, financial documents, phone records, and property records as proof of actual and substantial prejudice. (Id. at 26-29). Her unsubstantiated claims fail for at least three reasons.\n\nFirst, the defendant's motion either speculates about or lacks any suggestion of what such records would have shown. For example, the defendant argues that \"[c]ritical financial documents\" were unavailable to her. (Id. at 27). The defendant—who herself knows about the nature of the financial transactions between herself and Epstein—fails to indicate or suggest what the financial documents would have shown. The defendant also argues that property records about Epstein's homes could have rebutted Jane's testimony about the appearance of his homes at various points in time. (Id. at 28-29). But ample evidence about the appearance of Epstein's homes was offered at trial, and the defendant's motion offers no non-speculative information about what property records would specifically have provided that was absent from trial testimony and could not have been obtained another way.\n\nSecond, the defendant's \"motion does not provide any basis to conclude that the evidence, if available, would have been favorable to the [defendant].\" Berry, 2021 WL 2665585, at *2.
