   Ghislaine Maxwell’s New York sex-trafficking trial was   
   unexpectedly adjourned early Thursday because an “ill” attorney   
   needed medical care. “I’ve been informed there’s an attorney in   
   the case who’s ill, and that attorney has to get care,” the   
   judge, Alison Nathan, told jurors this morning.   
      
   Nathan’s disclosure came several moments after attorneys on the   
   case asked to speak with her in private. It’s unclear from   
   proceedings which attorney is ill.   
      
   Nathan said: “We have no reason to believe it’s Covid-related,”   
   but that this attorney needed to be at court for testimony that   
   was expected today. Nathan did not describe the attorney’s   
   symptoms in open court.   
      
   “We want to make sure the attorney is taken care of,” Nathan   
   said.   
      
   Nathan said she expects proceedings will resume on Friday.   
      
   The mid-morning adjournment meant that prosecutors are not yet   
   able to rest their case against Maxwell. The prosecution had   
   said earlier this week that they expected to wrap up on   
   Thursday, or Friday morning.
