Insofar as the Media Intervenors ask this Court to de-designate those portions

of the transcript of the depositions of Donald J. Trump currently designated as

Confidential pursuant to the parties Protective Order, defendants do not oppose

the Motion. In March 2016, defendants withdrew the Confidential designation

related to a majority of Mr. Trumps deposition testimony, and, pursuant to the

Courts March 14, 2016 Order, only three pages of transcript and certain numeric

figures remain Confidential. See Dkt. 172. Defendants now withdraw the

remaining designations related to Mr. Trumps deposition testimony.1

Defendants do, however, oppose the Media Intervenors Motion insofar as it

10

seeks access to any videotaped depositions in this case and in the related Low

11

matter. By separate motion, defendants have asked this Court to amend the

12

Protective Order to prohibit the filing or dissemination of the videotaped transcripts

13

of all witnesses in these related cases. See Dkt. 238. As explained at length in that

14

motion, the video files Media Intervenors seek are duplicative of the deposition

15

transcripts of Mr. Trumps testimony, none of which remains designated

16

Confidential. Public disclosure of the video fileswhich may never be used at

17

trialserves only to harass and unfairly prejudice Mr. Trump for the reasons

18

articulated in defendants Motion to Amend Protective Order.

20

Defendants, therefore, respectfully request that this Court deny the Media
Intervenors Motion insofar as it seeks public disclosure of video deposition files.

Media Intervenors Motion does not request the de-designation of exhibits used
during Mr. Trumps depositions. Defendants do not withdraw Confidential
designations related to any such exhibit at this time.
