NEW YORK—After former NXIVM President Nancy Salzman was arrested in 2018, federal agents acting on a search warrant uncovered a plastic box in her basement filled with financial documents allegedly concerning the “enemies” of the organization. The box of documents, prosecutors argued on May 14, should be shown to the jury.
The debate came after Judge Nicholas Garaufis, on the morning of May 14, adjourned the ongoing trial until May 15 because a juror was ill and couldn’t make it to court. Former NXIVM member Mark Vicente, the second witness in the trial, has not yet been cross-examined by the defense. Vicente once served on the group’s executive board.
