Plain-English Summary

The House is expressing its official position that President Biden should not pardon, reduce the sentence of, or grant any other form of clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking crimes. This is a non-binding statement of the House's opinion rather than a law that would prevent a pardon, and it reflects lawmakers' view that Maxwell's serious convictions warrant her serving her full sentence.
