Ghislane Maxwell's’ United States citizenship application appeared Friday, Jan. 30 among the latest tranche of files the Department of Justice released on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, was convicted in 2021 of sex-trafficking minors to the disgraced financier. She is serving a 20-yer prison sentence.
According to the document, Maxwell became a permanent resident of the United States on Feb. 5, 1995, and gained citizenship nearly eight years later on Nov. 27, 2002. Maxwell, who was born to a French mother and British father, holds triple citizenship in the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
The 2002 document listed two of Epstein’s companies as employers: J. Epstein & Co., then investment banking and financial firm created by Epstein after he left Bear Stearns, and L.S.J., LLC.
Maxwell’s citizenship application is one of 3 million pages of files related to Epstein the Justice Department released, as required by Congress. The files represent about 60% of the total files the government collected on Epstein. The latest batch includes 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
