The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution on Wednesday opposing any presidential pardon or clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex offender and associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution, introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), aims to prevent acting Attorney General Todd Blanche—nominated by President Trump to remain in the role—from granting any form of clemency to Maxwell. The bipartisan vote reflects strong congressional opposition to leniency for Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking and other crimes related to her role in Epstein's abuse network. The resolution serves as a symbolic but firm statement against any potential executive action to reduce her sentence or pardon her.
