The Senate unanimously passed a resolution opposing a presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell on Wednesday, putting itself on record against Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend.
Maxwell was associated with Epstein for decades before he died in a jail cell in New York in 2019. She underwent criminal trials for sex trafficking charges related to facilitating Epstein’s crimes that resulted in a 20-year prison sentence in 2022. More recently, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has interviewed her in an attempt to get a better grasp on Epstein’s identity, and she has argued that newly released government files tied to the deceased New York financier provide evidence that should clear her conviction.
