SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 5 – With Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, she has offered to testify to Congress about Jeffrey Epstein - with significant conditions.
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 5, now from a lower-security BOP camp in Texas (with Elizabeth Holmes and Jen Shah), Ghislaine Maxwell opposed unsealing: "Given that she is actively litigating her case and does not know what is in the grand jury record, she has no choice but to respectfully oppose the government’s motion to unseal it" - 9 page filing on Patreon here
More victims' filings are due on August 5.
Inner City Press is on the case, noting on July 14 DOJ's opposition to Maxwell's appeal -
"that Epstein’s nonprosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida barred petitioner’s prosecution by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. That contention is incorrect" -
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).
