Attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell discovered “critical new information” last week that will impact both her criminal and civil cases in Manhattan federal court, according to court documents filed Monday. The information is not described or specified by Maxwell’s attorneys — who are fighting to keep secret a deposition she gave in a defamation case brought against her by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. But other secret files in the defamation case were ordered unsealed by Manhattan federal court Judge Loretta Preska — and Maxwell is now requesting they remain hidden because of the new “critical” information. Her attorneys requested the unsealing process be postponed for three weeks, so they can discuss with federal prosecutors in her criminal case how the new information can be used in the defamation case. Maxwell and Epstein used the island to host “constant” orgies, Giuffre told lawyers in the deposition.
