Trump says he hasn't considered pardoning Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell [View all]

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump said he hasn’t considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving 20 years in prison for conspiring to sexually abuse minors and who is meeting with federal prosecutors seeking more information about the case.

Lawmakers and others have led a public outcry for more information about Epstein's clients, for more potential charges in the case. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met July 24 and 25 with Maxwell to ask what more she could say, which led critics to question whether Trump would pardon her.

“It’s something I haven’t thought about,” Trump told reporters at the White House about a possible pardon before leaving the United States for a trip to Scotland. "I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I have not thought about."

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-New York, suggested Blanche’s effort was to protect Trump “by tacitly floating a pardon for Maxwell in return for information that politically benefits President Trump.”
