Ghislaine Maxwell's family claims unfair trial as she appeals her sex trafficking conviction, arguing a prior Epstein plea deal should have protected her from prosecution

Amid an explosive fight on Capitol Hill over whether the Trump administration should release records related to Jeffrey Epstein, the family of the disgraced financier’s convicted right-hand woman is saying she "did not receive a fair trial.

As Jeffrey Epstein's case becomes the talk of Washington, the family of the woman convicted for her role in assisting the disgraced financier is claiming she received an unfair trial. The big picture: Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence in Florida after being found guilty of sex trafficking and other charges in 2021.

Mail report sparked rumors that Maxwell offered to testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein's activities and so-called "client list."

The Department of Justice on Monday urged the Supreme Court to turn away an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence.

The heiress was found guilty in 2021 of helping the deceased jet-setting financier — her boss and off-and-on lover — run a sex-trafficking ring of underage girls.

Roger Stone, a former adviser and longtime ally of President Donald Trump, referred to Ghislaine Maxwell as Jeffrey Epstein's "pimp."

The 156-acre New Hampshire property where Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested is now on sale for $2.5 million, more than double its $1.1 million purchase price in 2019

If Maxwell refuses to testify, a subpoena must follow. If the DOJ resists, Congress must assert its constitutional authority. The stakes are too high for half measures. The victims deserve answers. The public deserves transparency. And the truth, however uncomfortable, must come to light.
