Trump deflects Ghislaine Maxwell pardon question, says ‘Puff Daddy has asked me for a pardon’ too

President Trump deflected a question about whether he would pardon sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — telling reporters that he receives many clemency requests and would have to consult with the Justice Department.

“I will speak to the DOJ. I wouldn’t consider it or not consider — I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked about the Supreme Court denying Maxwell’s appeal.

“I’ll look at it. I have a lot of people who have asked me for pardons. I call him ‘Puff Daddy,’ has asked me for a pardon.”

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, known as Puff Daddy prior to 2001, was sentenced Friday to more than 4 years in prison on prostitution-related charges.

When a reporter pressed, “but she was convicted of child sex trafficking,” the president replied: “Yeah, I mean, I’m going to have to take a look at it. I’d have to ask DOJ.”

Maxwell, 63, was a social acquaintance of Trump’s when he was friends with Epstein, her ex-boyfriend, in the 1990s and early 2000s.

She is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in what the Justice Department says was the exploitation of more than 1,000 young women and girls.

Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas after sitting for interviews in July with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, whom she told Trump “was never inappropriate with anybody” during his association with Epstein.

Members of Congress have demand more documents about the late pedophile’s powerful associates, including former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Bill Gates, after a DOJ memo in July declared no further disclosures were warranted.
