Guo Staffer Yvette Wang Requested Info From Pre Trial Services Now Some Granted Some Not

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon

SDNY COURTHOUSE May 16,  – After a circus-like civil case involving Guo Wengui in SDNY, which Inner City Press closely covered, here, March 15, 2023 saw the unsealing of a criminal indictment.

Not mentioned was another, related arrest on March 15, of Guo's chief of staff Yanping Wang, aka Yvette Wang. Inner City Press live tweeted her presentment when the prosecutors offered release on $5 million bond, but only with two co-signers they approve.

  On March 22, Inner City Press was again the only media in the SDNY Magistrates Court when Yvette Wang and her two lawyers showed up, complaining that a proposed suretor with a $2.5 million property was rejected. Afterward Inner City Press asked Wang's lawyer Alex Lipman to confirm it is or was Steve Bannon. He said, "We're not going to answer."  Inner City Press' vlog, and live tweeted thread here.

On March 24 after 11 pm Wang's lawyer, trying to get out of representing Jen Shah, proposed eight names - letter on Patreon here.

On April 21, the date after District Judge Analisa Torres denied bail for Miles Guo Wengui, Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger followed suit and denied bail for Yvette Wang. Full order on Patreon here.

On April 27-28, Wang through counsel requested from Judge Torres an order for information from Pre-Trial Services, beginning "we write to request Your Honor order the Pretrial Services Office for the Southern District of New York to provide the following information: 1. The name and contact information for the Pretrial Services trainee who participated in Ms. Wang’s pretrial interview; 2. Any written list of questions or script, whether formal or informal, that Pretrial Officer Jessica Aguilar-Adan used during Ms. Wang’s pretrial interview, or, if there is no such list or script" - full filing on Patreon here.

On May 11, the US Attorney's Office responded that such information, on Form PS2, is never given out and if it is, here, only defendant's assets should be left unredacted. Full letter on Patreon here.

On May 16, Judge Torres denied in part and granted in part Wang's motion, beginning "The Court has reviewed the parties’ letters dated April 27 and May 11, 2023. ECF Nos. 59, 67. Defendant’s request for a court order requiring Pretrial Services to provide certain information is GRANTED in part, and DENIED in part. Specifically, Defendant’s request for an order is: 1. DENIED as to the name and contact information of the Pretrial Services trainee who participated in Defendant’s pretrial interview. 2. GRANTED in part as to the notes taken by the trainee. Pretrial Services shall provide Defendant with the trainee’s notes or a statement that they do not exist. 3. GRANTED as to the written list of questions or script used during Defendant’s pretrial interview, or a statement that one does not exist. 4. GRANTED as to the written list of questions or script shared with the trainee in advance of Defendant’s pretrial interview, or a statement that one does not exist" - full order on Patreon here.
