Rep. Jamie Raskin sent a letter to President Trump, demanding he reject Maxwell's request for commutation.

Raskin is the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. He's also requested that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche be made available for a public hearing to discuss the situation.

The White House says President Trump has not thought about pardoning Maxwell.

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal charges related to her role in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022.
