Chapter 2: What recent developments occurred in the Ghislaine Maxwell case?
A federal judge in New York is criticizing convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein's longtime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. This after Maxwell's recent court filing contained confidential names as she seeks to set aside her 2021 conviction and possibly be released.
She filed the paperwork on her own without a lawyer, and the document is being kept under seal out of the public's view until the judge reviews it and redacts the name of victims. In Florida, President Trump was asked about the release of the latest files and photos.

And they're, you know, highly respected bankers and lawyers and others.
Meanwhile, the Senate's top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, is urging his colleagues to take action against the Justice Department over the law enforcement agency's heavily redacted incremental release of the files on both Epstein and Maxwell.

These were like legal pathways. People like did the thing the government asked them to do. And this government went and is kind of preemptively trying to revoke that status.
The Trump administration has said it has done more to limit legal and illegal immigration than any other administration. It has said it will continue its aggressive effort to crack down on immigration in 2026. Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News, Austin.
