About

FBI analyst Kimberly Meder testified on Days 6 and 7 about her review of investigation CDs and photographs. She described copying the CDs into FBI computer folders, reviewing images for case relevance, and matching files to FBI evidence numbers and CD labels. The court permitted Government Exhibit 1101 as a memory aid while reserving objections.

Meder identified photographs she had reviewed, including images depicting Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, before the government offered photographic exhibits. The court admitted a series of those exhibits while preserving prior defense objections, and two additional exhibits were admitted under seal for jurors to review in binders.

On cross-examination, the defense used Meder's review notes to distinguish her review work from personal knowledge about the photographs. She agreed that she did not know how the photographs reached the CDs, who took them, whether the disc dates were accurate, whether the images had been altered, or whether they accurately represented particular facts.
