Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers are seeking to block the release of roughly 90,000 Epstein-related documents from a settled defamation case, arguing that the Epstein Files Transparency Act is unconstitutional.

There is ongoing debate about transparency and how sensitive personal information is handled in the released documents.

The Epstein document releases have yielded new revelations about abuse, drawing criticism from victims over public access and redactions, while still highlighting involvement of figures like Prince Andrew and continued legal action.

The Justice Department has not issued a public comment on the matter as of publication.

Virginia Giuffre has alleged Epstein trafficked her to various men, including Prince Andrew, who settled related suits in 2022 and later faced separate misconduct accusations.

Maxwell, 64, was convicted in 2021 and is serving a 20-year sentence; Epstein died in 2019, and Maxwell recently completed interviews with a deputy attorney general while considering potential clemency.

Some records have already been made public following a federal appeals court order, while other materials remain sealed or heavily redacted.
