Overview
- Maxwell filed a federal petition seeking to vacate her conviction and 20-year sentence.
- She argues newly obtained materials show exculpatory evidence was withheld, false testimony was presented, and key facts were misrepresented.
- The filing cites records and sworn materials from litigation involving the FBI, financial institutions, and Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, as well as other released documents.
- Maxwell renews claims of juror bias after a juror later acknowledged not disclosing prior sexual abuse, though earlier misconduct challenges did not overturn the verdict.
- Federal judges in New York and Florida have begun authorizing the unsealing of grand jury transcripts and exhibits under the new statute, and her request to vacate remains pending.
