Overview

• The Supreme Court on Oct. 6 declined to hear Maxwell’s petition, leaving her 2022 conviction and 20‑year federal sentence intact.
• The justices offered no explanation for the denial on the first day of their new term.
• Maxwell had argued that Epstein’s 2007 nonprosecution agreement protected “potential co‑conspirators,” a position the Second Circuit previously rejected as not binding New York prosecutors.
• The Justice Department under President Donald Trump urged the Court to deny review, stating Maxwell was not a party to the Florida agreement.
• This summer Maxwell was interviewed by DOJ under limited‑use immunity and later transferred to a minimum‑security camp in Texas, while House Oversight released tens of thousands of case records and DOJ said no Epstein “client list” exists.
