Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers have asked a judge to delay the start of her trial in light of the new indictment against her — citing, in part, the need to look over thousands of ‘highly confidential’ photos.
The photographs, of which there are 2,100, are among hundreds of thousands of pieces of evidence the accused madam and her attorneys must check over before she goes to trial, the lawyers said in a Thursday letter to Judge Alison Nathan.
Much of the evidence was already handed over by prosecutors and “must be re-reviewed” as a result of the two new sex trafficking charges against the former British socialite.
Maxwell’s trial is currently set to begin on July 12.
Her lawyers said: “We cannot adequately prepare for a trial containing the new charges and a substantially expanded conspiracy in the less than three months remaining.”
Maxwell’s own inspection of the mountain of evidence is also being hindered by technological issues, the lawyers said.
“We have tried to use an FBI-supplied laptop and hard drive to review approximately 2,100 ‘Highly Confidential’ photographs that were not produced to us in discovery,” Maxwell’s lawyers wrote.

Photo analyst: “Is that Bill Clinton the background? I’ve seen him 10 times now....”
Are you trying to suggest that the most renowned law enforcement agency in the world has some how or another been corrupted? LOL, if so you are just silly. It’s like saying J Edgar Hoover’s America is going communist. /s/
“no bear photographs”
Maybe Yogi Bare.
;)
I never understood the need to take such photos, assuming they are of children or other illicit sex photos. Why would anyone want to document their own doom?
Others would take them, and hold them for blackmail?
That she hasn’t been Epsteined in prison yet means she’s going to play ball and not implicate any of the big players like the Clinton’s.
What a sick world the big-govt swamp has created right under our noses.
Crowdsource the review, post ‘em online.
“J Edgar Hoover’s America is going communist.”
Are you a cross dresser?
Asking for a FRiend...
[Was Joseph McCarthy wrong?]
“hasn’t been Epsteined in prison yet means she’s going to play ball “
Or has a better failsafe than Epstein.
no body comes there, it is too crowded
there’s no such thing as “confidential” for a pedophile. It’s called “evidence”
How many have President Slick Willy posing in the background?
