British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell urged the Supreme Court on July 28 to toss her sex-trafficking convictions, alleging that the federal government violated an immunity deal when it prosecuted her.

The legal filing came after the former associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein met with Department of Justice officials on July 24. Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in custody in 2019 while under indictment for sex trafficking.
