The warrant didn\u2019t cover the CDs so Maguire testified that she obtained a new warrant and came back days later, only to find the items from the safe missing. They were soon returned by one of Epstein\u2019s attorneys.With only 12 minutes to go before Judge Alison Nathan\u2019s fairly strict 5 pm finish time, FBI analyst Kimberly Mader took the stand. Mader was one of the people responsible for analyzing the CDs, some of which were stored with printed thumbnails, presumably of the images on the discs.There was only time for her to describe one of the images, a photo of Maxwell and Epstein. That is when the clock ran out and the jury was dismissed for the night.Whatever else is contained on those CDs, whatever secrets they may tell will have to wait until day 7 of the trial, set to begin Tuesday morning when Mader will resume her testimony.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
