Donald Trump is facing warnings from Republicans concerned he is considering a pardon for Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
While the president has acknowledged his ability to pardon Maxwell for her child sex trafficking crimes, he has not signaled he intends to do so.
But after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met for interviews with Maxwell in Florida last month, there are concerns that her bid for a pardon might be gaining traction.
One senator, who requested anonymity to speak with The Hill about a potential pardon, said that Maxwell has an incentive to 'lie' to get her sentence reduced.
This lawmaker warned against trusting anything Maxwell says in her effort for a pardon.
