An Open Letter
To: Sen. Collins, Sen. King, Rep. Pingree
From: A constituent in Damariscotta, ME
February 9
**Oppose Any Clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell** I am writing to urge you to publicly oppose any clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, to support the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network, and stop the corruption in the White House. On February 9, 2026, Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment rights during a House Oversight Committee deposition, refusing to answer questions about how Epstein was able to sexually abuse underage girls for years. More troubling, her attorney told lawmakers that if President Trump ended her prison sentence, she would be willing to testify that neither Trump nor former President Bill Clinton were culpable for wrongdoing in their relationships with Epstein. This is not justice. This is corruption. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. She was not a bystander to these crimes. As the family members of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most outspoken victims, wrote to Maxwell: "You were a central, deliberate actor in a system built to find children, isolate them, groom them, and deliver them to abuse." Trading clemency for testimony that clears powerful individuals would make a mockery of our justice system and betray the survivors who courageously came forward. Especially people who have been named thousands of times in the files we have access to and who reportedly committed heinous crimes against children. Rep. Melanie Stansbury correctly characterized Maxwell's offer as "a brazen effort to campaign for clemency." Rep. Suhas Subramanyam described her demeanor as "robotic" and "unrepentant." These observations matter because they reveal someone seeking to manipulate the system rather than accept accountability. I ask that you to First, publicly state your opposition to any clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, Second support the committee's efforts to review unredacted Department of Justice files on Epstein, and Third, take actions to stop the corruption in the White House through article 2 section 4. It is time. Haven’t you seen enough? Survivors of sex trafficking deserve justice, not political deals that protect the powerful at their expense. Political deals like this will perpetuate the abuse of children in these sex trafficking rings. If you do not act (statements are not enough anymore, action is needed), then your complacency allows this to continue on
