Senate unanimously agrees to oppose pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell
The nonbinding resolution came as Trump declined to rule out clemency and Democrats said Maxwell was lobbying for a pardon.
- On Wednesday, Sen. Jacky Rosen secured unanimous consent for a resolution opposing clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, with every Senate Republican supporting the measure without objection.
- President Donald Trump's repeated refusal to rule out exercising his pardoning power prompted the resolution; he previously told reporters at his Turnberry resort in Scotland he was 'allowed to give her a pardon.'
- Epstein survivor Dani Bensky testified during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spent nine hours interviewing Maxwell but 'did not even spend nine minutes meeting with a survivor.'
- Simultaneously, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Blanche to deliver unredacted Epstein-related documents to his chambers by 3 p.m. on the same day as the committee vote, intensifying scrutiny.
- While the resolution is nonbinding, its unanimous passage demonstrates significant bipartisan pushback against potential executive action on accountability for crimes involving sexual exploitation of children.
