An attorney for Maxwell said she "answered every single question" [View all]
Justice Dept. finishes second day of Ghislaine Maxwell interviewPresident Trump said he was not considering granting clemency to Maxwell, a former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
President Donald Trump said Friday he was not considering granting clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell, a former associate of deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, as she met for a second consecutive day with a senior Justice Department official for an hours-long interview in Florida.
An attorney for Maxwell said she “answered every single question” posed by Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general. Blanche finished his interview with her early Friday afternoon, the lawyer said, adding that Maxwell did not seek or agree to any deal with the Trump administration.
“We haven’t asked for anything,” the attorney, David Oscar Markus, told reporters after the interview Friday. “There’s been no asks and no promises.”
Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, Trump was asked if he would grant Maxwell a pardon or commute her sentence. He said he had not considered it. “It’s something I haven’t thought about. It’s really — it’s not recommended,” he said. “It’s something I’m allowed to do, but it’s something I have not thought of.”
