43. What about Ghislane Maxwell's new statement

Feb 1

Apparently she is claiming that at least 25 people who victimized others in the Epstein scandal were able to settle out of court and never had to face further investigation/indictments?

Ghislaine Maxwell claimed that 29 people, including four co-conspirators, reached "secret settlements" in connection to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The claim is found in a lengthy habeas corpus petition filed by Maxwell on Dec. 17, 2025. Courthouse News obtained the entire petition.

Maxwell, Epstein's co-conspirator, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021.

Now, as the files related to the Epstein investigation have become a major political flashpoint, Maxwell is attempting to have her conviction vacated.

In the habeas petition, Maxwell says that "4 named co-conspirators" and 25 men "with secret settlements" were not indicted as part of the investigation.

t is not clear who the 29 individuals referenced in the petition are.

Over the summer, Maxwell met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and reportedly spoke about 100 ex-associates of Epstein. She was also subpoenaed to testify in front of Congress.
