Ghislaine Maxwell, the close associate and convicted accomplice of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, intends to ask President Donald Trump to commute her prison sentence, according to a letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin, of Maryland.
Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to Trump that Maxwell is working on filing a commutation application, citing an unnamed whistleblower.
Raskin said the information signals Maxwell either wants to be released from her prison sentence or is making recommendations about other federal convicts to the Justice Department.

“The White House does not comment on potential clemency requests," Abigail Jackson, a spokeswoman for the White House told USA TODAY in a statement. "As President Trump has stated, pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is not something he has thought about.”
