Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer, representing her amid a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and other crimes in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, suggested President Donald Trump might "agree" with her appeal argument.
Earlier this year, Maxwell petitioned the Supreme Court to review her case, claiming she should have been shielded by a non-prosecution agreement the late financier made with federal prosecutors in Florida, Axios reported. On Monday, the Justice Department urged the court to reject the appeal, arguing that lower courts already dismissed her legal team's arguments.
