Given the extent to which Maxwell seems to have made deals with the Trump admin for a cushier prison life, I find myself wondering if the goal is to get the Epstein Files Transparency Act declared unconstitutional so that the massive amount of remaining files will remain secret while the Trump admin can claim plausible deniability and that it's nothing to do with them.
