The Supreme Court may play a key role in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga, as associate Ghislaine Maxwell has appealed her conviction to the nation's highest court.

Ghislaine Maxwell pressed ahead with an appeal to the Supreme Court on Monday, seeking to overturn her conviction on the grounds that she was unlawfully prosecuted for sex trafficking minors with Jeffrey Epstein.

Former Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell says the Trump administration is attempting to distract Supreme Court justices in an effort to convince them not to take up an appeal of her federal sex trafficking conviction.
