I need you to publicly oppose any presidential pardon, commutation, or clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell and formally communicate that opposition to the White House. Reports indicate the administration is considering a pardon in exchange for testimony, despite Maxwell invoking her Fifth Amendment right before the House Oversight Committee in February 2026.
Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five federal counts including sex trafficking of a minor. She received 20 years in federal prison. Four survivors testified against her at trial. The Supreme Court declined her final appeal in October 2025. She was a central architect of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise, recruiting and grooming vulnerable girls for sexual abuse.
Annie Farmer, who testified at Maxwell's trial, asked: "Could you live with knowing that you've chosen to put a felon — who recruited, groomed, and threatened underage girls and young women — above survivors?" A pardon would tell victims of child sexual exploitation that wealth and connections matter more than justice. Congress must reject any testimony-for-pardon deal, continue pursuing full accountability across the Epstein network, and center survivors in every decision made.
