During a TV segment, Geraldo Rivera was taken to task by several co-hosting analysts after several comments about the former lover of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Rivera stated that Maxwell was no threat to anyone and was not a flight risk. Furthermore, Rivera claimed to be “outraged” and that the prosecution has “no case” against Maxwell.

Several of his co-hosts disagreed, Dagen McDowell accusing him of “defending a sex trafficker” and not understanding federal bail law.

Ghislaine Maxwell, 59, is being tried on several trafficking-related charges. Among them: enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and sex trafficking a minor. Maxwell has pled not guilty. Maxwell’s defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, said Maxwell is merely a “scapegoat for a man who behaved badly.”

However, the prosecution has a long list of witnesses they believe will solidify their case.
