New York, New York - President Donald Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ) has urged the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) to reject an appeal request from Ghislaine Maxwell – the accomplice of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 for conspiring with and aiding Epstein in his sexual abuse of dozens of underage girls and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Her legal team has tried repeatedly to appeal the judgment, recently arguing a co-conspirator clause within a non-prosecution agreement Epstein received in a separate 2008 case in Florida over similar allegations should exempt her from prosecution in New York.

But according to ABC News, the DOJ sent a filing to the Supreme Court on Monday, arguing Florida authorities did not intend to bind other federal districts and had no authority to do so.

The filing also noted that "The government was not even aware of [Maxwell's] role in Epstein's scheme at that time."

"That contention is incorrect, and petitioner does not show that it would succeed in any court of appeals," US Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote.

In a statement, Maxwell's attorney David Oscar Markus said he'd be "surprised" if Trump was aware that the DOJ was asking SCOTUS to "break a deal" that he claims was promised to his client.

"[Trump's] the ultimate dealmaker – and I'm sure he'd agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it," Markus added.

The recently renewed public fascination with the Epstein case comes as President Trump and members of his administration repeatedly made promises to release all files related to the case to the public.

But last week, the Department of Justice and the FBI released their final report on the case, which claimed theories that Epstein was murdered or kept a "client list" featuring prominent figures were false.

While it was meant to bring closure, the report has only infuriated critics and Trump's MAGA base.

Many argue the lackluster report is an attempt to cover up a conspiracy involving powerful people, while some have pointed to Trump's past friendship with Epstein as evidence he may be implicated in the files.

An anonymous source recently told the Daily Mail that Maxwell has expressed a willingness to testify before Congress about her time as Epstein's accomplice, claiming, "No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows."

Roger Stone, a longtime Trump loyalist, has been riling up the MAGA base over the idea of Maxwell testifying, insisting that she will implicate people like former President Bill Clinton but swearing that "she has nothing on Trump."
