when the attorney is no longer working for the client. The government was the client, and she can't disclose information she learned while representing it. There are also rules relating to the confidentiality of prosecution materials for the protection of potential witnesses, as well as grand jury proceedings. So there's very little she can say about the Epstein and Maxwell cases. I think they are trying to make her a scapegoat because she can't talk about the cases.
