Ghislaine Maxwell hired a new defense lawyer who once represented one of Osama bin Laden's associate

Ghislaine Maxwell, who is in jail awaiting trial on charges of sex-trafficking girls as young as 14 for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein, has hired a new defense lawyer.

In court documents filed earlier this week and reviewed by Insider, attorney Bobbi Sternheim said she would appear as counsel for Maxwell in her sex-trafficking case.

In one of her most high-profile cases, Sternheim represented Osama Bin Laden associate Khaled al-Fawwaz, who in 2015 was convicted of four counts tied to 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa, in which 224 people were killed.

At the time, according to the New York Post, Sternheim said she was "disappointed" by the conviction.
