Child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell — who is hoping for a pardon from President Donald Trump — told Trump’s Department of Justice that she said: “Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern.” reports MSNBC and ABC News:
Maxwell, an associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022, which she was serving at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her recent move to a more relaxed federal prison camp in Texas. She is appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.
ABC previously reported that it was Maxwell who requested the interview with the DOJ, according to sources familiar with the matter. Maxwell is also asking the Supreme Court to review her conviction and Trump has not ruled out a pardon for her.
