In a strong rebuke to the White House, the US Senate has unanimously passed a resolution condemning the possibility of a presidential pardon or clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes as Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein's abuse. The Senate's resolution sends a clear message to President Joe Biden, who has not ruled out the possibility of granting clemency or a pardon to Maxwell, that the majority of lawmakers oppose any such action. The resolution highlights the bipartisan consensus that Maxwell's crimes warrant severe punishment and that any attempt to pardon or commute her sentence would be deeply unpopular.
