Ghislaine Maxwell is begging President Donald Trump for help after his Department of Justice urged the Supreme Court to reject her appeal of her sex-trafficking conviction.
Maxwell's attorney David Oscar Markus told DailyMail.com: 'Trump is the ultimate dealmaker - and I'm sure he'd agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it.'
'With all the talk about who's being prosecuted and who isn't, it's especially unfair that Ghislaine Maxwell remains in prison based on a promise the government made and broke.'
Epstein's 'Madame' has also said she is willing to speak to Congress about the disgraced financier's files.
Her plea comes as Trump supporters continue publicly sparring after the DOJ said there was no client list in the Jeffrey Epstein files. It was a huge retreat from what Attorney General Pam Bondi and other Trump allies had previously claimed.
The MAGA civil war reached a boiling point last week when Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino did not show up to work on Friday after it was reported that he had threatened to resign over the botched handling of the Epstein investigation.
A broken promise to release more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case has sparked outrage among some of President Donald Trump's loyal supporters.
The Justice Department last week said Epstein, who was facing charges of sex trafficking, did not leave behind a 'client list.'
The DOJ also released surveillance footage to back up its claim that Epstein killed himself in his prison cell in August 2019.
Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in February it was on her desk, though she later said she was referring to the overall case file.
Bondi also said officials were poring over a 'truckload' of previously withheld evidence. The Justice Department concluded, however, that public disclosure would not be appropriate and that much of the material was placed under seal by a judge. That has angered right-wing influencers who were once bolstered by Trump's own claims on this case, but are now feeling their demands are being squelched by his administration.
Figures like commentator Tucker Carlson, right-wing activist Laura Loomer, and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon claim the government's handling of the case shows a lack of transparency. Anger over the case threatens to divide the MAGA faithful.
When a group of MAGA 'influencers' marched out of the Oval Office holding up white binders filled with the 'Epstein files', Donald Trump 's base immediately sensed something was off.
While the podcaster stopped short of directly accusing Trump of wrongdoing, she openly questioned his defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel - both of whom had previously pledged that explosive names and evidence tied to Epstein would be released.
Kelly said: ‘There is something there, and it’s being covered up, and the president blessed it,’ she suggested during Monday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
‘I didn’t say, “There’s a child sex ring that he’s actively covering up”… but I think there’s some middle ground.’
In a pivot from her previous public defenses of the president, her declaration stunned her guest, conservative commentator and host Ben Shapiro, whose eyebrows visibly rose in surprise.
President Donald Trump has faced backlash for wishing Ghislaine Maxwell 'well' in 2020 as she faced trial for sex-trafficking.
'I just wish her well, frankly. I've met her numerious times over the years, specially since I lived in Palm Beach, but I wish her well,' Trump said at the time.
The president was confronted by Axios about the comments and doubled down on the sentiment.
'Her friend, or boyfriend,was either killed or committed suicide in jail...She's now in jail,I wish her well...I wish you well,I wish a lot of people well,'Trump said.
'I do wish her well;I'm not looking for anything bad for her;I'm not looking for bad for anybody.'
Maxwell, 63, is the only person behind bars - serving 20 years on child sex trafficking charges - despite the fact that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls.
Now a source said: 'Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story.
'No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.'
What that 'truth' is remains to be seen. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 over her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Epstein over the course of a decade.
The Justice Department will not be letting British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell off the hook for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring.
Currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, Maxwell's lawyers argued she shouldn't have been put on trial in the first place because of the plea deal Epstein reached with Florida prosecutors in 2008.
But Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi's DOJ responded in a filing on Monday saying that the Supreme Court should not take up her case.
Dan Bongino, a longtime leading proponent of theories about Jeffrey Epstein's client list, failed to show up to work on Friday after Attorney General Pam Bondi and President Donald Trump assured the public no such list exists.
At the time it was reported he had threatened to resign over the botched handling of the investigation, which has sparked mutiny within the MAGA ranks and turned some of Trump's most loyal soldiers against him.
But Bongino, a podcaster who was picked out of political obscurity to help lead the new-and-improved FBI, reportedly returned to work this week under a cloud of uncertainty about his future at the agency.
By Monday morning, officials were starting to squirm and feared that Bongino would be a no-show yet again, but he arrived in the office a few hours later than expected.
