President Trump told the press that while he has the constitutional power to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell—the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein—he has not seriously considered doing so
Cadena SER. He said, “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about,” before departing for Scotland.
Ghislaine Maxwell recently participated in two days of intensive interviews with the Justice Department’s Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche—Trump’s former defense lawyer—as the DOJ seeks fresh insights into the Epstein case. Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, confirmed she answered questions about approximately 100 people linked to Epstein, without invoking legal privilege or requesting anything in return. Though no pardon has been formally requested or offered, Markus noted that Maxwell would welcome any relief and hopes Trump will use his powers “in a right and just way”.
Critics responded sharply. Some lawmakers warn that Maxwell’s information must be accompanied by public release of documents, citing a Justice Department memo that declared there is no Epstein “client list”, contrary to earlier claims. A bipartisan political backlash has emerged over the DOJ’s refusal to release more details about the Epstein-files investigation.
Trump further deflected questions about his own connections to Epstein, pointing attention to other high-profile figures who socialized with Epstein—such as Bill Clinton and former Harvard President Larry Summers—and offering to share a list of such individuals, while maintaining he had no wrongdoing or involvement.
