AI Analysis
Summary: The defense argues that Exhibit 52, a document the government seeks to admit as evidence, is unreliable and lacks proper authentication. They contend that the government's attempt to authenticate it through Ghislaine Maxwell's 2016 deposition testimony fails because the deposition exhibit shown to Maxwell (Deposition Exhibit 13) is not the same as Exhibit 52, and Maxwell disclaimed knowledge of its origin or authenticity.
