Ghislaine Maxwell’s Supreme Court Appeal Rejected

As reported by Radar in July 2025, David Oscar Markus, the lawyer representing Maxwell in her appeal to her charges, argued that she should be a free woman.

“The recent developments underscore just how absurd it is that Ghislaine is still in prison,” he said. “The government says there’s no Epstein client list, yet Ghislaine Maxwell remains locked up as the scapegoat for ghosts. It’s not right.”

“We are hopeful that she gets some relief [via the SC] soon,” he added.

The Supreme Court ended up rejecting her appeal, leading her lawyer to make another statement.

“We’re, of course, deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s case,” he shared at the time.

“But this fight isn’t over. Serious legal and factual issues remain, and we will continue to pursue every avenue available to ensure that justice is done.”

While there have long been rumblings that Donald Trump may give her a pardon, he didn’t seem to hint that would happen when asked about it last year.

“Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but I – nobody’s approached me with it,” he told reporters.

“Nobody’s asked me about it. It’s in the news about that, that aspect of it, but right now, it would be inappropriate to talk about it.”
