Ghislaine Maxwell prosecutors blast defense for 'conspiracy theories' about new charges
Fox News
The government added two new charges on March 29 against Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged madam, that stem from a new accuser.
In a new filing Friday, the government opposed any adjournments as they argued that the defense has enough time to prepare for the case. Given the new accuser and evidence, the Department of Justice is now predicting a four-week trial instead of three. The trial is currently scheduled for July 12. "Although trial may be modestly longer as a result, the S2 Indictment by no means opens the floodgate of witnesses the defense imagines; to the contrary, the government expects to present a streamlined case focusing primarily on the four minor victims," Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey wrote.More Related News
