The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell had attempted to get the Supreme Court to rule on whether her case was covered by a plea deal Epstein reached in 2008, when he pleaded guilty to prostitution offenses in Florida in exchange for federal prosecutors agreeing not to charge his co-conspirators. Meanwhile, President Trump was asked Monday about a possible pardon for Maxwell.
President Donald Trump: “I don’t know. I mean, I’d have to speak to the DOJ. I’ll look at it. I’ll — I have a lot of people who’ve asked me for pardons. I call him 'Puff Daddy,' has asked me for a pardon.”
Kaitlan Collins: “But she was convicted of child sex trafficking.”
President Donald Trump: “Yeah, I mean, I’m going to have to take a look at it. I have to ask DOJ.”
