A federal judge dismissed Maxwell's attempt to overturn her conviction for aiding Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking as "frivolous" and "rambling." The ruling comes as the Trump DOJ continues fighting the release of additional Epstein files in appeals court.
A federal judge dismissed Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal as "frivolous" and "rambling," rejecting her attempt to overturn her conviction for aiding Epstein's trafficking. Meanwhile, the Trump DOJ is continuing to fight the release of additional Epstein files in appeals court. Maxwell's conviction stands, but the administration is resisting disclosure of materials that might implicate others.
The two moves tell different stories about the same case. Maxwell stays convicted. But the DOJ's continued fight against file release suggests there are documents the administration wants to keep from public view. The judge's harsh dismissal of Maxwell's appeal doesn't address what those documents are or who they might implicate. What's being protected by blocking their release remains unknown.
