Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon: Senate Unanimously Agrees to Oppose Clemency for Convicted Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirator

The Senate unanimously reached an agreement on Wednesday, July 29, that Jeffrey Epstein's madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, should never receive a presidential pardon or clemency.

The decision was brought forward by Nevada senator Jacky Rosen, who claimed the move was to bar acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from giving the convicted felon, 64, a pardon in exchange for clearing Donald Trump’s name.

“It’s frankly horrifying that Trump would entertain the idea of clemency for even a second for a convicted s-- trafficker,” Rosen told the Senate. “There should never be a pardon for someone who helped a monster — a monster — abuse underage girls for years," she said.

The governing body approved the resolution after Rosen asked for unanimous consent on the Senate floor.

“If Republicans advance Todd Blanche’s nomination tomorrow in the Judiciary Committee, this is the least they can do to make their opposition to a Maxwell pardon clear,” the Democratic representative added in her speech.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas for helping to procure underage girls for Epstein.

While the Senate's agreement is not binding, it signifies to Trump's administration that both Republicans and Democrats will oppose any sort of clemency for Maxwell.

Blanche stated he won't recommend a pardon for the British socialite however, the POTUS, 80, is still considering it.

In July 2025, Blanche met with Maxwell for a two-day interview at a Florida courthouse, in which he granted her limited immunity to discuss her friendship with Epstein.

The disgraced financier killed himself in prison on August 10, 2019, after he was hit with federal charges of s-- trafficking of minors and conspiracy to traffic minors.

Maxwell and Epstein became good friends in the early '90s and was his primary co-conspirator.

In the interview tapes, Maxwell reportedly referenced Trump only a few times and claimed she was unsure if she met him in 1990 because her late father, Robert, “was friendly with him and liked him very much.”

She also repeatedly referred to the Celebrity Apprentice alum as “President Trump” and praised him for his “extraordinary achievement” in being elected president.

Just several days after the chat with Blanche, Maxwell was transferred from the low-security prison, the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee, to the minimum-security facility in Texas.
