As the police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten Windsor continues, his friend Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the heinous crimes of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But as the final Epstein files are released to the public, a haunting question remains: has she become a “convenient stand-in” for a dead man while other high-profile figures walk free?

In this exclusive episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined in the studio by Ghislaine’s brother Ian Maxwell, who is a consistent and vocal defender of his sister.

Ian discusses the family’s belief that Ghislaine has been selectively prosecuted as a scapegoat, why she invoked the Fifth Amendment before the US house oversight committee and the reality behind her plea to President Donald Trump.

Ian also speaks about his sister’s life behind bars, the “suspicious” deaths of both Epstein and the Maxwells’ father Robert, and why he doesn’t believe it matters if the infamous photograph of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor with Virginia Giuffre is real or not.
