Overview
- Maxwell has asked the Supreme Court to vacate her 20-year trafficking conviction on grounds that a 2007 non-prosecution deal was breached when she was prosecuted in New York.
- The DOJ insists that the 2007 plea agreement applies solely in Florida and will not release further documents after a July 7 memo confirmed Epstein’s suicide and found no proof of a “famous client list.”
- Her defense has told Congress she is willing to testify about Epstein’s network only if granted formal immunity or a presidential pardon beforehand.
- The Supreme Court faces a decision on whether to accept her appeal, a choice that could determine if the 2007 agreement shields her from charges outside Florida.
- President Trump has continued to deny ever visiting Epstein’s private island and says he severed ties after Epstein “stole” employees from Mar-a-Lago.
