Ms Maxwell appeared in court in New York on Monday for the first day of her trial on sex trafficking charges.
She denies the charges and her defence claims she is being used as a scapegoat for Epstein’s crimes, following his death in prison in 2019.
But prosecutors argue the pair were "partners in crime" in sex abuse.
Emily Maitlis is joined by Barbara Shearer, producer of Epstein’s Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s been following today’s events in court.
