Trump wanted to Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell

TFG is worried that Maxwell may tell on him




Donald Trump took a "sudden interest" in Ghislaine Maxwell's case as he was considering who to pardon in the final week of his presidency, journalist Michael Wolff alleges in a new book.

Maxwell, a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, is awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, to which she has pleaded not guilty. Epstein died in jail last year while he was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

According to Wolff's new book "Landslide"— his second detailing the Trump presidency — the former president's attention turned to Maxwell and her case as he looked for potential candidates for a presidential pardon, according to an extract published by the Times of London.,,,,,

Of Maxwell, he asked "Has she said anything about me?" according to the book. Wolff reports that he added: "Is she going to talk? Will she roll on anybody?

permanent house detention, with a witness protection overlay. It's the hornet's nest of hornet's nests.

Trump included. It sounds like Prince Andrew, like The Dotard, is also crapping his pants.

That photo of Trump...YIKES! It's nightmare-inducing.

I don't really care who it takes down politically, because Bill Clinton spent alot of time on that Lolita express plane as well. Can we have transparency for once? I suspect we will never know because too many powerful heads would roll. I've heard rumors that epstein was keeping tapes for blackmail against powerful people around the world. Epstein did not kill himself.

His "Followers" will not believe this and everyone else already thinks it. Its weak Journalism at best, and it's a shame but that seems to the case most of the time lately
