Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking trial adjourned after attorney becomes ill

Judge Alison Nathan says she expects proceedings will resume on Friday

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.
