Judge Loretta Preska said that the release of the documents would not have an impact on Maxwell’s ability to have a fair trial.A New York federal judge ruled on Thursday to unseal court documents from Ghislaine Maxwell, an accused child sex trafficker who was the associate of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Judge Loretta Preska said that the release of the documents would not have an impact on Maxwell’s ability to have a fair trial.One section of the ruling states:

From January 2012 to the present, produce all documents concerning any source of funding for the TarraMar Project (Maxwell’s nonprofit) or any other not-for-profit entities with which you are associated, including but not limited to, funding received from the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Foundation (a/k/a William J. Clinton Foundation, a/k/a/ the Bill, Hilary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation), and the Clinton Foundation Climate Change Initiative.

“The parties are required to submit unsealed documents to the court — with redactions to black out the identifying information of all non-party Does — in two weeks,” Law & Crime reported. “The only filing that Preska declined to unseal was a motion to compel filed by Maxwell, which alleged that Giuffre had been withholding a settlement agreement reached between her and Epstein, even after Maxwell’s attorney obtained a waiver from Epstein concerning the agreement’s confidentiality clause. Preska reasoned that because both parties had submitted a joint stipulation resolving the motion during the earlier defamation case which stated that any further proceedings on the issue were ‘moot,’ the presumption of public access did not attach.”

Maxwell’s legal team argued this week that the release of Bill Cosby means that Maxwell should also be released.

“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court did the right thing when it threw out Bill Cosby’s convictions because prosecutors cheated: They promised Cosby that they would not prosecute him if he would testify in the civil cases against him; based on that promise, Cosby testified and did not invoke his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Prosecutors then broke their promise and used Cosby’s statements in those depositions to win a conviction against him,” Maxwell’s appellate lawyer, David Oscar Markus, wrote in a New York Daily News op-ed published Wednesday. “The state Supreme Court not only acquitted him but barred the prosecutors from retrying him.”
