Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed that 29 friends of Jeffrey Epstein were shielded through 'secret settlements' by the Justice Department. Maxwell alleges that 25 men reached undisclosed deals, while four alleged co-conspirators were known to investigators but never charged. 'None of the four named co-conspirators or the 25 men with secret settlements were indicted,' the court filing says. Maxwell argues that the alleged concealment of these deals undermined the fairness of her trial and violated her constitutional rights.
