Justices will consider whether her petition warrants review after she argued that a 2007 non-prosecution deal granted her immunity.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court has scheduled a closed-door conference on September 29 to decide whether to take up Maxwell’s challenge to her 2021 sex trafficking conviction.
  • Maxwell contends that Epstein’s 2007 plea agreement protected her and that the statutes of limitations have lapsed, leaving her without further appeal if the court declines to hear the case.
  • A mid-2025 Department of Justice and FBI review of Epstein files found no new evidence to release or grounds for additional prosecutions.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche traveled to Maxwell’s Tallahassee prison in July for a two-day, immunity-protected interview with the former socialite.
  • The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Maxwell to testify about Epstein’s network, pending her request for full immunity or the Supreme Court’s decision.
