Chapter 2: What recent legal developments involve Jalene Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein?
A federal judge in New York is criticizing convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein's longtime girlfriend, Jalene Maxwell, after Maxwell's recent court filing contained confidential victims' names as she seeks to set aside her 2021 conviction and possibly be released. Maxwell filed the paperwork on her own without a lawyer.
The document is being kept under seal and out of the public's views until the judge reviews it and redacts the names of the victims. In Florida, President Trump was asked about the release of the latest Epstein files and photographs.
But no, I don't like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I don't like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing. I think Bill Live is a big boy. He can handle it. But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago, many years ago. And they're highly respected bankers and lawyers and others.
Meanwhile, the Senate's top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, is urging colleagues to take action against the Justice Department over the law enforcement agency's heavily redacted and incremental release of the files on both Epstein and Maxwell. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, the man deported to El Salvador by mistake, may continue to stay out of detention while his cases play out in various courts.
NPR's Ximena Bustillo reports.
Judge Palazzini's in Maryland extended a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Homeland Security Department from placing Abrego-Garcia in immigration detention. She gave the government attorneys until later this week to explain what they'd do should she lift that order.
Ziniz issued the protection order earlier this month and also granted Abrego-Garcia's petition to be released from custody. Abrego-Garcia, who entered the U.S. illegally, had been living in Maryland but was deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by mistake. The government eventually brought him back to the U.S. and charged him with human smuggling.
Abrego Garcia denies those allegations and is fighting this and his immigration case across several courts. Ximena Bustillo, NPR News, Washington.
China is criticizing the U.S. seizure of Venezuelan ships, saying it is a violation of international law. NPR's Emily Fang reports.
