As there are parties whose names appear in the grand jury exhibits but did not appear in the grand jury transcripts, the Government is undertaking to notify such parties to the extent their names appear in grand jury exhibits that were not publicly admitted at the Maxwell trial (and they were not already notified in connection with the request to unseal the grand jury transcripts). The Government respectfully requests to update the Court following those notifications by August 14, 2025, and requests that the Court await that update before unsealing any of the grand jury exhibits, to the extent the Court is otherwise inclined to do so.
