The comment came after Trump was asked if he was considering pardoning the convicted sex trafficking associate of Jeffrey Epstein

U.S. officials interviewed convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell while her legal team awaits a Supreme Court decision on her 20-year prison sentence appeal.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with her on Thursday in an attempt to quell a firestorm over the Trump administration’s backtracking on promises to release additional records from the Epstein investigation.
