With a prison transfer, Justice Department meeting and possible congressional testimony, Trump faces scrutiny from his own base.
Late last month, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the courts to unseal grand jury transcripts in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend and associate of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The request was an attempt to calm the furore after the DOJ announced in June that it would not release any additional documents from the investigation into the high-profile sex trafficker.
Judges asked lawyers for Maxwell, Epstein and their victims to respond to the court by Tuesday regarding their positions on the release of the documents.
As the deadline arrives and judges consider whether to grant the DOJ’s request, we look at who Maxwell is and what the case is about.
