"The US supreme court has declined to hear an appeal from Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell of her sex trafficking conviction. Maxwell in 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and related crimes. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. He had pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor. Donald Trump's administration has spent much of his second presidency so far struggling to contain a scandal over his past friendship with Epstein."
"In part, Trump's White House has failed to fulfill a promise to release all of the federal government's documentation on Epstein. He has also made it a point to say he's allowed to give Maxwell a pardon or commute her sentence under his presidential powers although he has also maintained it's something I have not thought about. More details soon"
The US Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell of her sex-trafficking conviction. Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and related crimes. Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges; he had pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor. The incident has generated political controversy during Donald Trump's second presidency, including scrutiny of Trump's past friendship with Epstein. The White House has not released all federal documentation on Epstein as previously promised. Trump has said he could pardon or commute Maxwell but also said he had not thought about it.
