Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals to Supreme Court to Overturn Conviction

Ghislaine Maxwell has petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn her 2022 conviction for sex trafficking, arguing that a prior plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein should have protected her from prosecution. Her legal team claims the Florida plea agreement, which shielded Epstein and potentially co-conspirators, should have barred her case in New York. The case's outcome could influence Maxwell's potential cooperation with authorities and reveal new information about Epstein's network. The broader context involves scrutiny of the Justice Department, Epstein's plea deal, and political implications involving former President Trump.
