Supreme Court Rejects Appeal from Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from convicted sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently
serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell had attempted to
get the Supreme Court to rule on whether her case was covered by a plea
deal Epstein reached in 2008, when he pleaded guilty to prostitution
offenses in Florida in exchange for federal prosecutors agreeing not to
charge his co-conspirators. Meanwhile, President Trump was asked Monday
about a possible pardon for Maxwell.

President Donald Trump: "I don't know. I mean, I'd have to speak to the
DOJ. I'll look at it. I'll - I have a lot of people who've asked me for
pardons. I call him 'Puff Daddy,' has asked me for a pardon."

Kaitlan Collins: "But she was convicted of child sex trafficking."

President Donald Trump: "Yeah, I mean, I'm going to have to take a look
at it. I have to ask DOJ."
