World 2 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 53m ago

On Tuesday, a federal judge rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's legal bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction and secure her release from prison. Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and associate, had argued that new evidence had emerged, including information from newly released Epstein files, to support her claims of a miscarriage of justice.

In a blistering opinion, the judge dismissed Maxwell's claims as "demonstrably meritless" and frivolous. The court ruled that the evidence of Maxwell's guilt is overwhelming and concluded that the newly presented evidence ultimately hurt her case rather than helping it.
