Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The resolution expresses the House's position that Ghislaine Maxwell should not be pardoned or have her sentence reduced by the President.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking minors in connection with the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier who died in jail in 2019.
The resolution does not have the force of law, but rather serves as a statement of the House's views on the matter.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this resolution is passed, it would send a clear message from the House that they believe Maxwell should serve her full sentence without any form of clemency from the President. This could influence the President's decision-making process, but would not legally prevent a pardon or commutation.
