White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Thursday attempted to explain why President Donald Trump this week sent his well-wishes to British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who is in jail awaiting trial on charges that she helped the late Jeffrey Epstein facilitate the sexual abuse of underage girls.

"What the president was noting is that the last person who was charged in this case ended up dead in a jail cell," McEnany said on Fox News, referring to Epstein. "And the president wants justice to be served for victims in this case and he prefers that to play out in a courtroom."

Trump made the controversial remarks Tuesday at a White House press conference after a reporter asked him about Maxwell, with whom he used to socialize.

"I just wish her well, frankly," Trump replied, adding that he had "met her numerous times over the years."

Given the gravity of the crimes with which Maxwell is charged, Trump's sympathetic tone quickly drew scrutiny from both his critics and at least one member of the president's own party.
