Supreme Court just crushed Ghislaine Maxwell’s last hope and revealed what Trump supporters suspected all along
The high court announced Monday it would not hear Maxwell’s appeal of her sex trafficking conviction, leaving her 20-year prison sentence intact.Maxwell, 63, had argued that Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 plea deal somehow immunized her from prosecution and that statutes of limitations had expired.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit already rejected these arguments, and the Supreme Court’s refusal to take the case makes that rejection final.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on five counts involving sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy. Her legal team tried every angle imaginable to overturn the conviction, but none of it worked. The woman who allegedly helped Epstein abuse underage girls is now out of legal options.
Maxwell may be stuck in prison, but the real criminals — the ones whose names are allegedly in those files — are walking around free while the government plays shell games with the evidence.
That’s not what Trump supporters signed up for when they voted for accountability and transparency. [deplorabledaily]
