New DOJ Files Raise Questions About Ghislaine Maxwell’s U.S. Citizenship Over Alleged False N-400 Answers
Newly released court filings suggest potential exposure to denaturalization or immigration-fraud charges under federal law.
Overview
- Filings reported by Migrant Insider show Maxwell checked “no” to whether she had ever committed a crime without being arrested and whether she had ever been a prostitute or procured anyone for prostitution.
- DOJ allegations place her involvement in Epstein’s abuse from 1994 to 2004, overlapping with naturalization paperwork reported as signed in 1995 or filed in 2001–2002, depending on the outlet.
- Legal experts note that material misstatements on an N-400 can lead to denaturalization and prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1425, which carries potential prison time of up to 25 years.
- No denaturalization petition or new criminal charge has been publicly filed as of today, with the developments stemming from newly examined court documents.
- Maxwell remains incarcerated on a 20-year sentence and is appealing, as her lawyers float cooperation offers for clemency and reporting describes unusual privileges in custody.
