Breaking: Major Update on Ghislaine Maxwell - Brian Tyler Cohen



Ghislaine Maxwell, a federal prisoner, filed a pro se motion to vacate her conviction, attaching 148 documents—believed to be a subset of the Epstein files. The Department of Justice (DOJ) responded by flagging that some of these documents contain victim information, prompting the judge to seal the materials and give prosecutors three weeks to review them. The DOJ requested extensions, first until January 13th and then until February 10th, raising suspicion due to the small number of documents involved.

Critics argue this slow processing undermines the DOJ’s credibility and suggests a deliberate delay in releasing the full Epstein files, which were legally required to be released by December 19th. The lack of transparency and repeated missed deadlines have led to concerns that the administration is not acting in good faith. The situation has prompted calls for a special master to oversee the release of the remaining files. The discussion highlights broader concerns about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein case, with critics suggesting political motivations and distractions, such as international events, are being used to avoid scrutiny.
