The Department of Justice on Monday urged the Supreme Court to turn away an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence.

The Justice Department and FBI said it would no longer release Jeffrey Epstein files, reigniting interest in Ghislaine Maxwell's trial.

"The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them," Sotomayor wrote.
