The family of Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate and the only convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, insisted she received an unfair trial this week, shortly after the Justice Department downplayed the contents of sealed files surrounding the years-long investigation into his activities.

“Our sister Ghislaine did not receive a fair trial,” the Maxwell family said in a statement Tuesday. 

Maxwell, 63, is appealing her 2020 conviction on sex trafficking charges while serving a 20-year federal prison sentence at FCI Tallahassee — where she has been keeping in shape as she fights the case.

The vast majority of those figures were not accused of wrongdoing, and the few who were had already been publicly linked to Epstein before the document dump.

Giuffre, Epstein’s most outspoken accuser, died of suicide earlier this year in Australia.

Earlier this month, the Justice Department and FBI released a joint memo announcing a review of Epstein’s case files had been completed. However, the document revealed barely any new information.

Authorities said that most of the unreleased files pertain to minors or victims who appear to be minors, and that more than 10,000 videos and images included “illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography” that would not be released.

The government published hours of surveillance video that authorities said support the conclusion that Epstein killed himself – but there’s also a missing window due to a flaw in the system, raising new questions.
