Epstein's sidekick Maxwell files for sentence commutation from President Trump
by Ellsworth Toohey · Boing BoingGhislaine Maxwell, convicted for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring, is reportedly seeking a sentence commutation from President Trump. The Supreme Court rejected her appeal. Maxwell's final hope is obtaining a pardon or sentence commutation from Trump, who told reporters, "I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I have not thought about."
Maxwell has already secured an unusually comfortable federal incarceration. She was transferred to a minimum-security facility described as "among the facilities with the lowest level of security in the federal system" — a transfer that prison consultants call unprecedented. Bureau policy states anyone with "sexual contact with a minor" should be housed in "at least a Low security level institution" without a special waiver, yet Maxwell received an apparent exception.
Could it have something to do with Maxwell's meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? We don't know because the softball interview transcript is so redacted as to be useless.
One may also wonder how Maxwell was able to take her appeal to the Supreme Court. The answer is that she still has a fortune. Recent investigations estimate her net worth in 2025 to be around $20 million, significantly reduced from her earlier wealth but still substantial. She reportedly has offshore holdings and trusts tied to her former secret husband, tech entrepreneur Scott Borgerson.
