GHISLAINE Maxwell is likely to be negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors, which is why her trial has been delayed, a victims' lawyer has claimed.
Spencer Kuvin, who represents nine Epstein victims, also believes that she may "meet the same fate" as the billionaire pedo, who died in jail in 2019.
Earlier this week a judge agreed to Maxwell's request that the trial, which was due to start in July, is put back until the end of the year after the prosecution added more charges.
Maxwell, 59, denies all wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and other charges over her alleged role in procuring four teenage girls for former lover Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004.
However, Kuvin speculates that there's a "high likelihood" that the delay is because Maxwell is negotiating a plea deal - in which she would hand over incriminating evidence on Epstein's powerful pals to avoid a public trial and get a shorter sentence.
"The question then becomes if the powerful people that don't want her to cut a deal, learn about the deal before it's decided and before she is convicted, will she ultimately survive that deal?
"Because in any deal she cuts it would have to include jail time - I don't think there's any way that the US attorney's office could save face in this matter unless there was jail time attached.
"If she's in jail and part of her deal is to turn evidence over against powerful people she's aware of that might also be prosecuted then I think that there ultimately would be a high likelihood that something untoward would happen."
Kuvin believes Maxwell may have damaging information that could implicate powerful men all over the world.

The point is to bury the evidence and exposure of others.
Mark it down - there may be reasons that Bill Gates is divorcing Melinda. Now the news is reporting that Melinda disapproved of Bill spending time with Epstein. More to come out on this. More prominent individuals will be making life changing moves.
The negotiator in me (from the prosecutor’s view) would say there will be no delay. The impending trial is time leverage for the government.

Deep States will never let the trial go ahead.
