Overview

  • The Supreme Court will hold a closed-door conference on Sept. 29 to determine if it will grant review of Maxwell’s appeal
  • A denial would leave Maxwell without any remaining judicial recourse against her 20-year sentence
  • A joint DOJ and FBI examination of Epstein’s case files found no new evidence warranting public release or further prosecutions
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent two days interviewing Maxwell under limited immunity at the federal prison in Tallahassee
  • Maxwell’s lawyers say she will testify before the House Oversight Committee only if granted full immunity and after the Supreme Court issues its decision
