During the television appearance, Alan Dershowitz claimed Ghislaine Maxwell is more valuable to the government outside of prison than she is being locked up.
"Ghislaine Maxwell is basically serving the sentence that [Jeffrey] Epstein would have gotten," the 86-year-old said. "She should never be in jail for 20 years. What should happen is, she should be free. She should have her sentence commuted. She should then be called in front of Congress. Have Congress give her total immunity and then she can tell everything she knows."
"She knows everything and I think she is improperly serving a sentence at this point in time and should be released for time served and let her then disclose everything," he pointed out. "She would have no reason for withholding anything."

Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a two-decade sentence for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls before he died in 2019.
The 63-year-old has been trying to appeal her case, citing that she was shielded by a non-prosecution agreement the late financer brokered with a U.S. attorney's office in Florida in 2006.
Maxwell appealed to the Supreme Court after a federal appeals court shut down her request. "It would be extremely strange if the NPA left Epstein himself open to federal prosecution in another district — as eventually occurred, while protecting his coconspirators from prosecution anywhere," Solicitor General John Sauer penned in a brief to the highest legal authority in the United States.

Jeffrey Epstein's case has been making headlines after President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice claimed the 66-year-old did not have a "client list" of high-profile people.
"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list,'" the official memo stated. "There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
