## Resource

Ghislaine Maxwell is fighting to overturn her 2021 conviction, arguing her constitutional rights were violated during trial — claiming Epstein’s accusers’ lawyers essentially acted as prosecutors and the government skipped key interviews, including with billionaire Leslie Wexner. The defense says this undermines due process, but federal prosecutor Jay Clayton counters that these claims are too late and mostly speculative, with no proof of unfair treatment. Maxwell, convicted for her role in recruiting Epstein’s victims, now faces a high-stakes legal battle as the court weighs whether to grant her appeal.
