The justices declined to take up a case that would’ve renewed attention on the Epstein sexual-abuse saga. Trump’s administration had urged the high court to stay out of the case.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he would need to “speak to the DOJ [Department of Justice]” when asked about a potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking during an Oval Office event focused on approving a new mining road in Alaska, Trump told reporters he hadn’t “heard the name in so long” and would “take a look at it.”
The exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins came after the Supreme Court rejected Maxwell’s appeal to overturn her conviction earlier on Monday. When Collins pressed Trump on Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction, the president reiterated: “I’ll have to take a look at it.”
