Supreme Court Rejects Maxwell Appeal in Epstein Case

The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell against her sex-trafficking conviction. Without providing an explanation, the court declined to hear the former British socialite's appeal, which means her 20-year sentence will remain in place barring a presidential pardon.

Her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told the BBC her team was "deeply disappointed", but would continue exploring legal avenues "to ensure that justice is done".

Maxwell was convicted for her role in luring underage girls for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein to exploit. Epstein died in prison in 2019.

"Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison facility in Texas after her interview with justice department officials in July. In those interviews, she denied seeing any inappropriate conduct by Trump during his interactions with Epstein.

The facility, FPC Bryant, is located about 100 miles (160km) from the Texas capital of Austin.

The family members of Giuffre, Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson, said in a written statement that they "remain hopeful that the DOJ will realize that she belongs in a maximum security prison, not the country club one she is currently in".

"Trump on pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell: I'd have to take a look at it'"

"President Trump said Monday he would have to talk to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and review the case of Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, after the Supreme Court declined to review her 2021 sex-trafficking conviction.

Trump was asked in the Oval Office whether he was considering a pardon for Maxwell, and he repeatedly declined to rule out a pardon, instead stressing that he would need to look into the matter."

"Well, I'll take a look at it. I'll speak to the DOJ," Trump said. "I wouldn't consider it or not consider " I don't know anything about it. I will speak to the DOJ."
