President Donald Trump’s potential pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell is splitting Republicans right down the middle, and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse are making it crystal clear how they feel about it. The idea of clemency for Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker who helped Epstein exploit underage girls, has resurfaced in political circles, and the backlash is immediate.
Advocates for survivors are calling it a “mockery of justice,” while Republicans themselves can’t seem to agree. According to The Guardian, the latest drama unfolded when news broke that members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee were divided over whether the president should pardon Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation with their investigation into Epstein.
