Mr. Raskin submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on the Judiciary

_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Expressing the opposition of the House of Representatives to any grant 
of commutation, clemency, or pardon to federally convicted child sex 
trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who refuses to take responsibility for 
her crimes.

Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell is a federally convicted child sex trafficker and co-
conspirator in Jeffrey Epstein's years-long, multibillion dollar 
international child sex trafficking ring;
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in a 
scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey 
Epstein over the course of a decade;
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell was previously found guilty of conspiracy to entice 
minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport 
minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to 
participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex 
trafficking of a minor;
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell has served just three years and four months of her 20-
year sentence, or 1/5th of the total time she was sentenced to serve for 
her crimes;
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell has refused to take any responsibility for her crimes 
or express any remorse or contrition for her crimes, but rather has 
continued to lie about the crimes she committed and facilitated;
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell, rather than showing contrition or remorse for her 
crimes, has instead demeaned and disparaged the victims who she 
trafficked and exploited when they were children; and
Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell fails every requirement considered by the Department 
of Justice's Office of the Pardon Attorney in making clemency 
recommendations to the President: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) opposes any grant of commutation, clemency, or pardon 
to federally convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, 
who refuses to take any responsibility for her crimes and 
continues to lie about them;
(2) reiterates its support for the survivors and victims of 
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell; and
(3) reaffirms the need for the full and complete release of 
the Epstein files.
