Overview

• The justices declined to hear Maxwell’s petition without comment on Oct. 6, leaving lower-court rulings in place.
• Maxwell had argued Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement barred her New York case, a position the 2nd Circuit previously rejected.
• The Justice Department urged denial, saying she was not a party to that agreement and that it did not bind prosecutors outside South Florida.
• Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year federal sentence and was transferred in August to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas after a July interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
• DOJ said a midyear records review found no incriminating “client list” or blackmail evidence, and Maxwell told investigators she never saw President Donald Trump act inappropriately.
