43. What about Ghislane Maxwell's new statement

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.
