The Department of Justice (DOJ) urged the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal. Maxwell, serving 20 years for aiding Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking, argues that a clause in Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement barred her prosecution. The DOJ counters that the agreement didn't protect Maxwell and that the Florida prosecutor lacked authority to bind other districts. Maxwell's attorney suggests President Trump would disapprove of the government breaking a deal. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on multiple sex trafficking charges.
