The Trump administration grilled with Jeffrey Epstein memo
The Justice Department has released a memo on Jeffrey Epstein, declaring that there is no “client list” despite the Attorney General’s past mentions.
The fight has escalated among Magazine supporters about what the Trump administration is, and has not revealed Jeffrey Epstein’s potential clients, so the legal battle for Epstein’s Associate Associate Githraine Maxwell is also intensifying.
Maxwell, convicted of trafficking minors to engage in sexual activity with Epstein, may know if Epstein has clients involved in sex trafficking rings, and whether he holds a so-called “black book” listing their names.
The Justice Department said this month that no such list exists in the record, in relation to the case of Epstein. In a memo released on July 7, the department revealed that a “systematic review” of documents relating to Epstein does not constitute a charge for the “client list,” saying “full disclosure is not appropriate or guaranteed.”
Government lawyers urged the Supreme Court on July 14 to refuse Maxwell’s appeal against the 2021 sex trafficking conviction. Maxwell argues that the 2007 plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein should not have prevented prosecutors from chasing her.
The 2007 agreement, which many well-versed in cases consider Epstein’s overly generous deal after accusations of child sexual abuse, contained provisions that protected potential Epstein co-conspirators from criminal charges. Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to prostitution charges in two states and sentenced to just 18 months in prison.
However, the government says the prosecution against Maxwell only applied to prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida and therefore did not violate the transaction. Maxwell was charged in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The Supreme Court is currently set to decide whether to consider Maxwell’s case or reject her latest appeal altogether.
