Ghislaine Maxwell’s Family Breaks Their Silence With Mind-Boggling Claim

By Mark Steffen

One day after the U.S. Department of Justice shot down Ghislaine Maxwell’s latest plea for freedom, her family has come forward to support her bid — and made a mind-boggling claim about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid crimes.

Family members broke their silence after Solicitor General John Sauer dismissed legal arguments by Maxwell’s attorney that she is immune from prosecution based on a 2007 agreement struck between Epstein and federal prosecutors. Maxwell on Monday had offered to spill previously unrevealed insight into Epstein’s activities, including whether he maintained the disputed “client list” at the center of a firestorm roiling the Trump administration.

In their minds, Maxwell is the victim of gross “government misconduct” resulting in her 20-year conviction on human trafficking charges, her family states in an open letter.

“Our sister Ghislaine did not receive a fair trial,” her kin wrote in a statement following Tuesday’s hearing in a federal appeals court. They claimed that prosecutors were motivated to charge Ghislaine based on public and political pressure during Epstein’s short-lived 2019 trial.

Maxwell, they went on, is prepared to “file a writ of habeas corpus,” which would “allow her to challenge her imprisonment.”

This challenge would be “on the basis of new evidence such as government misconduct that would have likely changed the trial’s outcome,” they add.

Epstein in 2007 signed a Non Prosecution Agreement as part of a sweetheart deal where he served minimum prison time after being convicted of soliciting underage girls for prostitution. Maxwell’s family agrees with her contention that the deal should apply to her, given that she was at Epstein’s side during that time and groomed hundreds of young girls for his sick sexual satisfactions.
