Longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has revealed that more than two dozen men received cushy plea deals with the government.

In a habeas petition filed Tuesday aimed at preemptively ending her prison sentence, Maxwell alleged that 29 friends of the notorious sex trafficker had been "protected" by the Justice Department by way of "secret settlements."

Those settlements went to "25 men" and four potential "co-conspirators," reported The Daily Beast. The petition has prompted questions regarding the identities of the cloaked individuals"and why the DOJ would offer them protection."

"In a Tuesday court filing, the DOJ offered vague placations that it expects to process the trove, which includes two million documents, "in the near term." Officials did not provide a specific date for the full release, as required by law." excerpts
