President Donald Trump faced questions about possibly pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell as he prepared to leave the White House for Scotland on Friday morning. The questions came during a brief exchange with reporters before his departure.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. She was convicted in 2022 for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
