Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are challenging the requested release of an additional 90,000 pages of documents connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell herself. They’re arguing that a law used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional.
These legal papers were filed late Friday in Manhattan federal court, aiming to block the document release. According to AP News, the files stem from a civil defamation lawsuit that the late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre brought against Maxwell a decade ago, which has since been settled. The Justice Department recently requested that a judge lift the secrecy requirements on these files, pushing for their public disclosure.
