In a recent legal maneuver, Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking, appealed to a judge on Wednesday to overturn her conviction. Her legal team claims they have uncovered “substantial new evidence” suggesting her constitutional rights were breached during the trial process.

According to the filing, this evidence was allegedly suppressed during Maxwell’s trial in 2021. The defense argues that the presentation of false testimony led to what they describe as a “complete miscarriage of justice,” as reported by the Associated Press.

Maxwell, who was once closely associated with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, is currently serving a 20-year sentence. As CrimeOnline has reported, she was recently transferred to a more accommodating “prison camp” in Texas. This move followed her interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blance, where she claimed she never witnessed Donald J. Trump acting inappropriately during his visits to Epstein’s private island.

Despite these developments, the US Supreme Court decided in October not to entertain Maxwell’s appeal, leaving her current conviction intact.

The latest filing suggests that since her trial concluded, significant new evidence has surfaced from related civil cases, government disclosures, and investigative reports. Maxwell’s attorneys assert these documents reveal constitutional violations that compromised the trial’s fairness. They argue that, considering the complete evidence now available, no reasonable juror would have found her guilty.

Records in her case and those of Epstein are scheduled to be released publicly on Friday, the result of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which rump signed in November after months of fighting any such release.

It’s not clear if the department will stop release of any of Maxwell’s records in light of her new filing. The law allows the department the hold some records back, and legal proceedings are among the reasons that could come into play. Her attorney, David Markus, wrote that she “does not take a position” on unsealing documents from her case, but doing so “would create undue prejudice so severe that it would foreclose the possibility of a fair retrial” if her new filing succeeds.

Epstein was arrested in new sex trafficking charges in 2019 and was found dead in his cell a month later. His death was ruled a suicide.
