Ghislaine Maxwell plans to ask Trump to commute prison sentence, House Democrats say

Source: CBS news



Scott MacFarlane November 10, 2025 / 5:07 AM EST

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking co-conspirator, is planning to apply for a commutation of her federal prison sentence, which is set to run through 2037, according to documents obtained by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee and seen by CBS News.

In a letter to President Trump on Monday, also seen by CBS News, Judiciary Committee Democrats wrote that Maxwell "is preparing a 'Commutation Application' for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration......

The letter says the information received demonstrates "either that Ms. Maxwell is herself requesting you release her from her 20-year prison sentence for her role as a co-conspirator in Jeffrey Epstein's international child sex trafficking ring, or that this child sex predator now holds such tremendous sway in the second Trump Administration that you and your DOJ will follow her clemency recommendations."

The letter also alleges that Maxwell is receiving preferential and lenient treatment at the Bryan federal prison camp in Texas, where she was transferred over the summer after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss the Epstein case. .......................
..........In their letter, Democrats call for Blanche to be made available for a public hearing .........

Every day just gets worse with Trump sitting in the Oval Office that Trump has made tacky looking with gold plated decorations.


Judiciary Committee Dems wrote to Trump that Maxwell "is preparing a 'Commutation Application' for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration. The Warden herself is directly helping Ms. Maxwell copy, print, and send documents related to this application."

There should be a total shut down of everything possible and the victims come forward and present their list of perps and blast the names on fucking billboards.

Definitely need a general strike. They won't 'get it' until we take away the"help" from serving them.


Fucking assbites.

Everything possible, especially anything that hurts the ruling class. We're already suffering, we have to make them feel it and hard.

Because if she doesn't, she can rat Trump out on all the young girls he did with Epstein.
She has nothing to lose.

He can't be perceived as anything other than a disgusting POS of a human being and his magat followers still love him. Do you think they care about his sexual perversions at this point?

Ghislaine could offer quite a bit on Trump
She has probably told Trump It is all documented and ready for release in the event something happens to her.
Why should Trump risk that when he could commute her sentence.

ever release the actual or unredacted/uncensored Epstein file is delusional. MAGA Mike and his flying monkeys will never permit anything that could tarnish their master or brand.

We all know a deal was cut months ago. Or else she wouldn't have been moved to cushy-ville prison.

She'll probably be back recruiting girls within six months - only this time for Trump himself.
