The decision is part of a 2015 defamation lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. PRINCE ANDREW'S TEAM DENIES CLAIMS ROYAL WAS 'HAPPY' WITH DISASTROUS INTERVIEW ABOUT EPSTEIN TIES: SOURCEGiuffre has been fighting to get a batch of sealed court documents made public. Last month, Maxwell's attorney, Jeffrey Pagliuca, had asked the court to keep the records under seal, arguing that public interest in the documents is outweighed by privacy considerations. He also said the sealed documents could "inappropriately influence potential witnesses or alleged victims." Preska is also giving Maxwell's legal team one week to appeal her decision but ordered the court to have the documents ready to be posted within a week.
