US EditionDOJ Opposes Ghislaine Maxwell’s Appeal in Supreme Court Filing
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The US Department of Justice calls Maxwell's appeal meritless, opposing her claim that Epstein's 2007 plea deal should grant her immunity from prosecution, as the Supreme Court weighs the case.
- On Monday, the US Department of Justice will formally oppose Maxwell’s retrial request, as she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors, and her appeal is deemed meritless.
- Her appeal claims co-conspirator immunity and expired statutes, Maxwell argued her prosecution was barred, citing a 2007 plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein and that she first filed her petition during the first Trump administration.
- On July 7, the Department of Justice said a `systematic review` revealed no incriminating `client list`, and confirmed no such list exists.
- Prosecutors deem Maxwell’s appeal meritless, while a senior Justice Department official said Sunday there remains a `powerful argument` for the high court to consider the case.
- The Supreme Court will decide whether to review or reject Maxwell’s appeal, which could influence her legal strategy, as the DOJ opposes her retrial request on Monday.
