SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 11 – With Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, she has offered to testify to Congress about Jeffrey Epstein - with significant conditions.
Meanwhile just before midnight July 29 DOJ in a filing in SDNY said it submitted Epstein and Maxwell grand jury information under seal, filing on Patreon here.
On August 11 Judge Paul A. Engelmayer denied DOJ's bid to unseal the transcripts in US v. Maxwell, concluding that "granting the Government’s motion would bloat the “special circumstances” doctrine, which to date has warranted disclosure in only a tiny number of cases, all involving unique testimony by firsthand witnesses to events of obvious public or historical moment" - 30 page order on Patreon here
Inner City Press will remain on the cases,
after having asked Maxwell herself question when she did a press conference in the UN. After that, Inner City Press was banned from the UN by SG Antonio Guterres. His spokesman Stephane Dujarric on July 14, 2025 refused to answer written questions, including:
On deadline, explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was granted a press conference in the UN briefing room, and why a UN correspondent who did a fundraiser with Ghislaine Maxwell - convicted of sex trafficking here in SDNY, and known at the time to be manager for Jeffrey Epstein - is allowed in daily and can ask questions, while Inner City Press which asked and asks remains banned, with 6/19/25 application to MALU pending, none of the promised (by Dujarric) answers to written questions like this provided
No answers.
On April 19, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Loretta A. Preska held a proceeding to unseal some but not all documents. Inner City Press, which has published a book on the Maxwell trial here, and another book including the Larry Ray trial "John list" here, live tweeted it, thread here:
173-6 it will be sealed [or redacted.]
Jump cut to April 25, 2025, with Virginia Giuffre declared dead, reportedly by suicide. A redacted life. Rest in Peace.
Inner City Press continues reporting on the UN (where Ghislaine Maxwell was allowed a press conference and SG Antonio Guterres had a rep on her Terramar board (video here, story here).
