Dozens of names related to a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell were made public Wednesday in court documents that had previously been redacted. 

The big picture: The unsealed records are part of a civil suit against Maxwell, who was sentenced to prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. 

Of note: Being named in the court records does not equate to being accused of wrongdoing.

His likely foe, former President Trump, faces felony charges and vows revenge on his political enemies.
