Barr at it again? Feds seek halt to civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell

[mfcorey1]

Federal prosecutors pursuing the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell in New York are asking a judge to temporarily halt proceedings in a civil lawsuit filed by an alleged child sex-abuse victim against Maxwell and the estate of the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that there is a "significant risk" that proceeding with the case "would adversely affect the ongoing criminal prosecution against Maxwell."

In a letter posted to the court docket of the civil case this week, prosecutors from the Southern District of New York asserted that there is a "factual overlap between the civil and criminal cases" that could result in premature disclosure of evidence and testimony from witnesses who may be called upon in both cases.

2. Impossible not to question motivattions behind this, but still, I'm not sure this is unusual

(for the criminal case to be given priority over even ongoing civil cases). I feel for the victim(s) and yes, I do question what is behind this. Time will tell.
