The Department of Justice told the Supreme Court Monday that it should deny hearing convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking girls to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claimed a 2007 non-prosecution agreement in Florida between Epstein and the government covered her as well.

Conspirators, Says Solicitor General President Donald Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ) is urging the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, asserting that her sex trafficking conviction should remain.

The legal battle centers around the widely criticized agreement Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in Florida in 2007.

Monday’s filings came as the Trump administration has come under intense scrutiny from supporters of the president for the decision not to disclose any more records tied to Epstein publicly.

The Department of Justice on Monday urged the Supreme Court to turn away an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for conspiring with and aiding Epstein in his sexual abuse of underage girls.
