Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Should Get Less Prison Time Because Of Relationship With Bill Clinton

Ghislaine Maxwell has requested a lighter prison sentence, citing her relationship and work in philanthropy with former president Bill Clinton as her reasoning.

Maxwell was convicted of her crimes in December for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls for sexual purposes as well as sexually abusing the girls herself, and her sentencing hearing is currently set for June 28. Maxwell’s attorneys have argued that she should only receive a four-year-and-three-month sentence due to her having shown she has a “desire to do good in the world” by working with Clinton.

Reportedly, Maxwell’s assistance in the launching of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is part of her reasoning for the request

Further, Maxwell alleges she’s already received death threats in prison, which is apparently the explanation as to why she is currently in a higher security setting at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where she is being held. Apparently, she was told by some of the guards that “there was concern she could be shot by a sniper.”

As a reminder, Jeffrey Epstein allegedly died by suicide during his 36 days of incarceration, despite the fact that he denied having suicidal thoughts just days prior to his death.- READ MORE
