US EditionTrump Declines to Rule Out Maxwell Pardon Amid Epstein Saga
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – Maxwell claims Epstein's 2007 plea deal grants her immunity and seeks clemency as the Justice Department meets with her amid ongoing investigations, with Trump not ruling out a pardon.
- In a Monday filing, Ghislaine Maxwell asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her 2021 sex trafficking conviction, citing a 2007 immunity deal.
- Her lawyers contend the non-prosecution agreement, a 2007 deal promising immunity to co-conspirators, bars prosecution of any potential co-conspirators, including Jeffrey Epstein.
- In Tallahassee, Maxwell faced two-day interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who met her days before the filing, covering over 100 of Epstein's contacts.
- President Trump refused to rule out clemency on July 28, ahead of the July 29 DOJ deadline to unseal grand jury records.
- Critics warn that efforts to scrub Trump from Epstein-related files under a Maxwell deal would amount to rewriting history and undermine justice.
