The Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring has again turned into one of the biggest stories in the planet, and US President Donald J. Trump is being asked multiple times a day to weigh about different aspects of the case – more specifically, today, about the 2-day interview that Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has given to the second highest DOJ official, Todd Blanche.
The disgraced British socialite is serving a 20-year sentence in FCI Tallahassee, Florida, for her sex-trafficking convictions.
Before flying to Scotland, Trump was asked about Maxwell’s interview with Blanche, in which he was asked if he would pardon her – and the President made it clear that it’s within his powers to do so.
President Trump says he’s allowed to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.
The only reason he’d do that is if she exposed the Epstein clients.

Later in the day, after arriving in Scotland, the US President was again asked about the case.
Trump answered in a more adversarial mode, and even – what do you know – improvised a ‘client list’ of people that have been to Epstein’s Island – including Bill Clinton and former Harvard President Larry Summers.
BREAKING: On pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, President Trump says, “this is no time to be talking about pardons.”

“I really have no, really nothing to say about it. She is being talked to by a very smart man, by a very good man, Todd Blanche. And I don’t know anything about the conversation.
I haven’t really been following it. A lot of people are asking me about pardons. Obviously, this is no time to be talking about pardons.
But a lot of people have asked about pardon. This is just not a time to be talking about pardons. Todd will come back with whatever he’s got.
You’re making a very big thing over something that’s not a big thing. You should be talking about, if you’re going to talk about that, talk about Clinton, talk about the former president of Harvard, talk about all of his friends, talk about the hedge fund guys that were with him all the time. Don’t talk about Trump.”
