The Supreme Court could decide in late September whether to hear Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal of her 2021 sex trafficking conviction.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team moved forward with appealing her case to the Supreme Court on Monday, three days after the accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein met with a top Justice Department official. The convicted child sex trafficker’s team filed a new brief with the Supreme Court urging it to overturn her conviction.

Maxwell would refuse to answer questions about Epstein while her case remains pending, but “would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public” if Trump pardons her, her lawyer said.
