Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers contest the publication of documents related to Epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers, associate of Jeffrey Epstein, are contesting the publication of 90,000 pages of documents related to her case, arguing that the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act' violates the separation of powers within the Constitution. The challenge was filed in federal court in Manhattan and aims to block the release of files from a civil defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein.

The lawyers argue that the documents contain private information about Maxwell and others, including transcripts of depositions. The publication of the documents has led to further revelations about Epstein's abuses, and some victims have complained that their personal information has been disclosed.

Additionally, members of Congress have expressed concerns about the incompleteness of the published documents. Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years in prison, was recently moved to a low-security detention facility.
