In advance of today’s hearing, the defense submits this letter in response to the Government’s November 18, 2024 letter (Dkt. 72). The defense asserts that the Government’s actions represent a severe and intentional breach of attorney-client privilege. The conduct has compromised the confidentiality of the defendant’s communications with counsel, exposing critical trial strategy, including plans for expert testimony, witness approaches, and other privileged matters.

The defense argues that the Government’s actions are not only egregious but have caused significant harm to the integrity of the proceedings. By gaining access to the defendant’s privileged information, the Government has undermined the fairness of the trial, leaving the defense at a distinct disadvantage. This breach demands immediate scrutiny and rectification to ensure justice is upheld.
