Overview

• The justices declined to hear Maxwell's case without explanation, keeping in place lower-court rulings upholding her 2021 New York conviction and 20-year sentence.
• Maxwell's petition argued that Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Florida non-prosecution agreement protected his 'potential co-conspirators' nationwide.
• The Justice Department urged rejection, saying Maxwell was not a party to that agreement, and the 2nd Circuit had ruled it did not bind prosecutors in New York.
• Maxwell met in July with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche under limited immunity and was transferred shortly afterward to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas.
• The DOJ says its review found no incriminating 'client list' or new evidence, as lawmakers press for more Epstein-related disclosures and release of investigative records.
