GHISLAINE Maxwell’s lawyers are bidding to get her bail — amid claims she will be offered a plea deal.
She is on suicide watch at a New Hampshire jail but may be detained in Brooklyn before facing a New York court this week.
A source said: “She has no record and there is no reason to think she’d flee.”
A judge would be under pressure to keep Maxwell in custody amid the outcry over the Epstein scandal.
Attorney General William Barr is said to have called prosecutors to warn “no harm must come” to her.
It is claimed a plea deal could be struck if she has evidence leading to the conviction of “bigger fish”.
Her pal Prince Andrew is accused of sleeping with Epstein sex slave Virginia Roberts, then 17 — claims he strongly denies.
Photos emerged at the weekend of Maxwell and actor Kevin Spacey joking on thrones during a 2002 Palace visit, said to have been arranged by Andrew.
Other friends of Maxwell are sweating over CCTV tapes from Epstein’s mansion found at Ghislaine’s home.
