The gag order request came as President Donald Trump, a former friend of Jeffrey Epstein, said he wished Ghislaine Maxwell 'well' in her sex crime case.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which is prosecuting Maxwell, declined to comment.
Epstein, 66, died from what has officially been ruled a suicide by hanging last August in a federal jail, where he was being held without bailThat case relates to alleged conduct from 2002 through 2005 at Epstein's luxurious residences on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and in Palm Beach, Fla. Before his conviction on state sex crime charges in Florida in 2008, Epstein had been a friend of President Bill Clinton, and also socialized with Britain's Prince Andrew.
Maxwell, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, is charged with helping Epstein in the mid-1990s recruit and groom underage girls, at least one as young as 14 years old, so that he could sexually abuse them at his residences in New York, Palm Beach, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as at Maxwell's home in London. She also is accused of lying under oath about her conduct and her knowledge of Epstein's conduct in despositions taken for a civil lawsuit involving an Epstein accuser.
