President Donald Trump said he would provide a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates – and did not rule out pardoning the late sex offender’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Trump made the shocking remark as the Justice Department interviews Maxwell for a second day in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
‘You should focus on (Bill) Clinton. You should focus on the president of Harvard, the former president of Harvard, you should focus on some of the hedge fund guys. I’ll give you a list,’ Trump told reporters as he left the White House for Scotland on Friday morning.
The president also acknowledged he has the power to pardon Maxwell, who is seeking a way out of prison.
‘I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about,’ he said.
Trump added that he was not concerned that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is interviewing Maxwell, could be misled by her.
Blanche is a ‘professional lawyer who’s been through things like this before,’ Trump said.
