President Donald Trump told Daily Mail on Monday that no one has asked him about a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell as he went on a rant about Jeffrey Epstein.
‘I'm allowed to give her a pardon. Nobody's approached me with it. Nobody's asked me about it. It's in the news about that, that aspect of it. But right now, it would be inappropriate to talk about it,’ he said.
Maxwell, who met with Justice Department officials last week, is serving 20 years in prison for her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sordid crimes of sex trafficking. She was convicted in 2021 on five counts related to sex trafficking and conspiracy.
A growing fringe effort to get Trump to pardon Maxwell has unfolded after the Justice Department rejected her effort to have her conviction on child sex trafficking charges thrown out.
Questions about Epstein and queries about his relationship with the notorious financer followed Trump from the United States to his meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland through the weekend.
