Event Summary

The United States — United States Senate unanimously passed a non-binding resolution opposing any presidential pardon or clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking crimes with Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen of United States — Nevada, expresses bipartisan opposition to clemency amid reports that President Donald Trump might consider it. The resolution comes as Maxwell has exhausted appeals, with the Supreme Court declining to hear her case. Todd Blanche, acting Attorney General, has stated he would not recommend a pardon. The House Oversight Committee sought Maxwell's testimony, but she invoked the Fifth Amendment. The Justice Department released Epstein files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
