Overview

• Maxwell’s petition was turned away on the first day of the term, leaving her federal conviction and sentence in place.
• Her appeal claimed Epstein’s 2007 non‑prosecution agreement protected alleged co‑conspirators outside Florida, a view lower courts rejected.
• The Justice Department opposed review, with Solicitor General D. John Sauer arguing the deal bound only the Southern District of Florida.
• Maxwell recently sat for a limited‑immunity interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and was moved to a minimum‑security camp in Texas.
• DOJ disclosures said there is no Epstein “client list” and affirmed his 2019 death as a suicide, while Maxwell’s lawyer said the defense will pursue other avenues.
