On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to approve a resolution declaring that Ghislaine Maxwell should not be granted a presidential pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency. Maxwell is currently serving a prison sentence following her conviction for sex trafficking and aiding Jeffrey Epstein in the abuse of underage girls.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen. By allowing the measure to pass without objection, all members of the Senate—both Democrats and Republicans—formally went on record against the possibility of a pardon for Maxwell. While there has been no indication that a pardon is being considered by the current administration, the move serves as a symbolic and political statement regarding the severity of the crimes involved.

Axios reports that the resolution was specifically intended by Democrats to force Republican senators to publicly state their position on the matter. The Washington Examiner focuses more on the historical context of the case, noting Maxwell’s long-standing association with Epstein and the circumstances surrounding his 2019 death in a New York jail cell. Both outlets agree that the vote was unanimous and that the resolution explicitly names Maxwell as someone who should be excluded from executive clemency.
