The Supreme Court has officially set a date — Sept. 29 — to consider at a private conference whether it will review Ghislaine Maxwell’s challenge to her sex trafficking convictions.

This typical scheduling development might not normally be relevant to national political news. But Maxwell is at the center of a controversy stemming from the Trump administration’s refusal to release all information related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier. Maxwell was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors.

Indeed, her lawyers referenced her pending petition in a letter Tuesday to the U.S. House Oversight Committee. Responding to the committee’s bid to depose her, the lawyers said they wanted to put off any congressional testimony until after her petition is resolved (or if President Donald Trump grants her clemency first).

To be clear, this scheduling development is normal. It might be the only normal thing to happen in the Epstein saga. All it means is that the justices will consider her petition alongside others as the court returns from summer break ahead of the new term that starts in October.
