A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her conviction and 20-year prison sentence, ruling that her claims of 'new evidence' are meritless.

Maxwell’s petition for a new trial was “meritless” and often “frivolous,” the judge wrote, and the evidence she provided only “incriminates her” further.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer says claims by longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein of new evidence in sex trafficking conviction are 'demonstrably meritless'
