Overview
- Maxwell’s petition argued that Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 Florida non‑prosecution agreement shielding “potential co‑conspirators” should have barred her New York prosecution.
- Lower courts and the Justice Department maintained the agreement bound only the Southern District of Florida, not federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
- Maxwell, 63, remains at a minimum‑security federal prison camp in Texas after a July transfer from Florida that, per CNBC, would have required a Bureau of Prisons waiver.
- A Justice Department review reported no incriminating “client list,” and Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche she never saw President Trump act inappropriately.
- With judicial avenues closed, reporting notes her plausible route to early release is a pardon or commutation from President Trump.
