Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, has indicated that there is a 'good chance' former President Donald Trump might consider granting her a presidential pardon. Currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell was convicted in 2021. Markus contends that she was unfairly targeted as a scapegoat following Epstein's death in 2019. While Trump has previously stated he hasn't given the idea much thought, he has not dismissed it entirely, mentioning he would consult the Department of Justice if the issue arises. The discussion of a pardon has gained traction amid ongoing interest in the Epstein case, with some suggesting that Maxwell could provide valuable information regarding other individuals involved, although she has not made such claims publicly. At 64 years old, Maxwell remains the only individual convicted in connection with Epstein's extensive network of powerful associates across various sectors.
