A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Ghislaine Maxwell should not be granted a Presidential pardon or any form of clemency for her crimes with Jeffrey Epstein relating to the sexual exploitation and abuse of minors.
SRES 608 is a non-binding Senate resolution expressing the Senate's position that President should not grant Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon or other clemency. It directly addresses the President’s authority regarding clemency for Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually exploit minors. The resolution cites her 20-year prison sentence for crimes including trafficking minors and enabling abuse, stating that granting clemency would undermine justice for victims. As a sense-of-the-Senate resolution, it has no legal effect but formally opposes clemency for Maxwell’s crimes.
