Ghislaine Maxwell Found Guilty of Sex Trafficking

A jury found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty on five of six counts related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of minor girls between 1994 and 2004. She faces up to 65 years in prison. Former federal prosecutor and CNN Legal Analyst Jennifer Rodgers joins AC360 to discuss the verdict and explains why it was “a good day for justice.”

Plus, the CDC predicts more than 44,000 new Covid-19 deaths over the next four weeks as cases continue to surge.
