Ghislaine Maxwell appears to be working on a commutation request for President Donald Trump, according to an email between Maxwell and her attorney obtained by the House Judiciary Committee.

“I will need the brief back at some point to go through it,” Maxwell wrote to her lawyer in an email with the subject line “Commutation Application” reviewed by NOTUS. “I’m struggling to keep it together as it is big and there are so many attachments.”

The email, first reported by the Miami Herald on Monday, was released to the Judiciary Committee by a whistleblower at Federal Prison Camp, Bryan, the women’s facility where Maxwell has been held since July.
