Maxwell argues that newly released documents from the Epstein case show her due process rights were violated, claiming attorneys for Epstein's accusers acted as "de facto prosecutors." She also contends that prosecutors failed to properly investigate witnesses and evidence, citing their decision not to interview Leslie Wexner.
