Donald Trump Says He Is "Allowed" To Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell

Is Donald Trump considering pardoning convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for distance from the Epstein case? Many believe so. Friday, Donald Trump was asked by reporters as he departed the White House for a trip to Scotland if he has considered giving a pardon to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice, telling the press he “hasn’t thought about it,” while adding “allowed to do it.” “I haven’t thought about it,” Trump said when asked by reporters, “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

Trump was pressed again on the matter by reporters, and he said, “I don’t want to talk about that,” adding that he “never went to his [Epstein’s] island.” Felon 47 also gave props to praising Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who met with Maxwell and her attorneys in a Tallahassee, Florida courthouse. The Daily Beast reports that Blanche has met with Maxwell twice already, and she has handed over 100 names to the DOJ in hopes of securing a pardon from Agent Orange. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year jail sentence. Per The Daily Beast:

Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus said after the meetings that his client was asked about maybe “100 different people” in connection with Epstein. He said she did not hold anything back.

Markus also said that she was asked about “every possible thing you could imagine—everything.”

The meeting between the top Trump official and Maxwell was announced by the Justice Department amid mounting pressure for the administration to release more information on the case after it said there was no Epstein client list and indicated there would be no further prosecutions in a recent memo.

MAGA Is Not Moving On From The Epstein List

This latest development comes after the Wall Street Journal’s bombshell reporting that Attorney General Pam Bondi allegedly briefed Trump in May that his name was in the Epstein files before the DOJ dropped a memo claiming the files don’t exist and that there was no conspiracy regarding Epstein’s death. Despite the Trump White House’s best efforts to distance itself from the Jeffrey Epstein case, the MAGA faithful still want what was promised to them as Trump pledged he would release the files if he won the election. If he does pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, this is only going to make matters worse for him. We shall see what Trump decides to do. Until he makes a decision, you can see the reactions to Trump flirting with the idea of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell in the gallery below.
