This is the most important recording in the archive, because it connects the campaign against me to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense. Samantha Harris is pressed on where her information comes from, and she does not dodge it. She says it comes from the attorneys, and then she names the attorney.
"Just face it, we got this from the attorneys." 0:01:20
"Leah’s not my fucking lawyer. Leah is Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer." 0:18:57
Leah Saffian is Maxwell's lawyer. On this call she is supplying Samantha with statements used to discredit Anouska De Georgiou, the woman who testified against Maxwell, with instructions about what can and cannot be posted. Samantha then lays out the defense narrative for why the trial witnesses did not appear, and what the defense plans to do in the next round.
"It’s a complete lie. It was COVID and the judge wouldn’t give us money to get the witnesses from UK to US to give evidence. And the defense is that they’ll come forward in the next round to give evidence to say that she’s being dishonest." 0:08:16
Later she puts the federal agencies and my name together and says what they wanted from me.
"Homeland Security. FBI. Did you call the Homeland Security on him? They want him to basically watch his mouth." 0:29:43
Why this requires review: the transcript places attorney-source language beside a public credibility attack on a Maxwell trial witness while the post-conviction petition was active. That is the center of the habeas lane.
