Maxwell is trying to secure a pardon from President Donald Trump<\/p>\n

Ghislaine Maxwell met with a top official in the Department of Justice for a second day on Friday \u2014 and reportedly answered questions about dozens of people’s connections to her late confidante, billionaire child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as she openly angles for a pardon from President Donald Trump.
\nMaxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Fla. \u2014 near where she is incarcerated \u2014 that Epstein’s convicted “madam” didn’t hold back in telling Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche what she knows, dishing on about 100 people the administration suspects may have had ties to the deceased sex criminal.
\n\u201cI think Ghislaine did a wonderful job. She literally answered every question,” said Markus. “She didn\u2019t say, \u2018You know what, don\u2019t ask me that, I\u2019m not gonna talk about this person.’ She was asked maybe about 100 different people, she answered questions about everybody and she didn\u2019t hold anything back.\u201d
\nMaxwell was convicted on child sex trafficking charges in 2021 for her role in facilitating Epstein’s abuse of young girls. But as questions continue to swirl over whether the Trump administration is covering up evidence of malfeasance in the “Epstein Files,” the administration reached out to Maxwell \u2014 who did not testify in her defense at trial \u2014 in the hopes she could shed new light on the disgraced financier’s notorious crimes.
\nEpstein \u2014 who associated with high-profile figures like Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew \u2014 was arrested on sex trafficking charges in 2019 but was found dead in his jail cell a month later in what was deemed a suicide by hanging, a ruling that has generated controversy and speculation.
\nMarkus told reporters that his team had not spoken to the president about a pardon, and said “no asks and no promises” had been exchanged during the meeting with Blanche \u2014 but he said Maxwell “would welcome any relief.”
\nHe also disputed claims that Maxwell was motivated to tell Blanche what he wanted to hear.
\n“She wants to tell the truth, because the truth can be corroborated or disproven,” said Markus. “If she lies, they can charge her with lying.\u201d

\nDOJ Told Trump That He Appeared in Epstein Files Multiple Times Before Choosing to Halt Their Release: Report
\nTrump’s ties to Epstein have come under renewed scrutiny in recent weeks, after the DOJ released a report stating that the financier\u2019s widely rumored “client list” did not exist \u2014 and that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to prosecute any alleged co-conspirators.

\nThe president sued the Wall Street Journal after the paper reported he had once sent Epstein a bawdy birthday letter where he said the two of them share “certain things in common.” PEOPLE has not seen the letter.
\nThe paper also reported that Trump was informed as far back as May that his name appeared in the government’s Epstein documents.
\nDOJ officials sought the release of transcripts from the grand jury that indicted Epstein in 2019, but the request was denied by a federal judge. Meanwhile, Maxwell was subpoenaed for a deposition by the House Oversight Committee, which Markus said is expected to occur the week of Aug. 11.
\nAsked Friday if he has considered pardoning Maxwell or commuting her sentence, Trump told reporters: “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”
\nIn response, Markus said he and Maxwell “hope he exercises that power in the right and just way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
