The family of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has ended their silence with explosive claims that their sister faced government misconduct during her prosecution.
The statements emerge as President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi confront mounting pressure from conservative allies demanding transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
They also come just after House Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly endorsed the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, marking a significant departure from the administration’s position that no client list exists.
Maxwell currently serves a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking offenses connected to billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise.
Her family now insists she received an unfair trial, arguing prosecutors violated previous agreements to secure her conviction after public demands for justice following Epstein’s death.
The Maxwell family maintains their sister deserves protection under a 2007 agreement between Epstein and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
That deal stated the government would not prosecute Epstein’s co-conspirators after he paid fines, compensated victims with millions of dollars, and served 13 months in prison.
Maxwell’s legal team prepares to file a writ of habeas corpus challenging her imprisonment.
The challenge centers on allegations of government misconduct that could have altered the trial’s outcome.
Her family argues this new evidence warrants immediate review of her conviction.
The Daily Mail reported that David Oscar Marcus, representing Maxwell, criticized the government’s handling of the case.
“I’d be surprised if President Trump knew his lawyers were asking the Supreme Court to let the government break a deal,” Marcus stated.
“He’s the ultimate dealmaker – and I’m sure he’d agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it.”
The controversial 2007 agreement specifically protected potential co-conspirators from prosecution.
The deal stated that if Epstein fulfilled all terms, the United States would not institute criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators, including four of Epstein’s assistants. However, the agreement did not name Maxwell specifically.
Prosecutors exploited a jurisdictional loophole to pursue Maxwell in New York rather than Florida.
The 2007 deal applied only to the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida.
New York treats such agreements differently than most American states, allowing prosecutors to circumvent the original protection.
Maxwell’s family seeks to have her sentence vacated and referred for resentencing.
They accuse the court of applying incorrect guideline ranges and offense levels during her original sentencing.
Johnson expressed his support for transparency during an appearance on conservative pundit Benny Johnson’s podcast.
The speaker indicated he favors greater openness from the White House regarding the documents related to the deceased financier who died in federal custody.
When questioned about potential congressional testimony from Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, Johnson stated he supports transparency.
The Speaker also indicated willingness for Congress to issue subpoenas to the FBI and Department of Justice to obtain any undisclosed files.
Johnson emphasized intellectual consistency in his approach to the matter.
He expressed trust in Trump’s team while acknowledging the sensitive nature of the subject matter that has captivated public attention.
Johnson referenced Attorney General Pam Bondi’s previous statements about Epstein-related documents.
The speaker noted that Bondi had mentioned having such materials before the DOJ claimed last week that no client list exists, creating apparent contradiction in official statements.
WATCH:
A new nationwide poll released by Rasmussen Reports on Tuesday reveals that a significant majority of likely U.S. voters do not trust the DOJ and the FBI when it comes to their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
According to the poll, only 21 percent of likely voters said they believe the DOJ and FBI are telling the truth about Epstein.
In contrast, 56 percent said they do not believe the two agencies are being honest.
An additional 23 percent said they were not sure.
The Rasmussen poll was conducted between July 8 and July 10, surveying 1,164 likely voters across the United States.
