Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, urged the Supreme Court on Monday to take up her pending appeal and overturn her sex-trafficking conviction, claiming she was covered by an agreement Epstein made with federal authorities that shielded her from prosecution.

Ghislaine Maxwell is back in the spotlight as the Trump administration faces growing pressure over its handling of the Epstein files and as Maxwell seeks to overturn her conviction in the case.

Flashback: Maxwell resurfaced in headlines this month after the Wall Street Journal reported that there's a "bawdy" birthday letter with Trump's name in a book that Maxwell helped put together for Epstein in 2003. Trump denied the reports and sued the WSJ.
