Recall that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving her sentence. She was found guilty of child trafficking and other crimes related to Epstein. In August 2025, she was transferred to a minimum-security prison in Texas.

Previously, Maxwell«s lawyer filed an appeal, arguing that his client should be free because, he said, she had become a scapegoat. However, the Supreme Court rejected this appeal. The lawyer expressed disappointment but stated that the fight continues.

Last year, rumors arose that Donald Trump might pardon Maxwell. When asked about this, Trump responded that no one had approached him with such a request, and it would be inappropriate to discuss it now.
