Trump’s big slip-up on the “simplest question in history” left a legal analyst speechless
Legal Analyst Criticizes Trump’s Confusing Response on Ghislaine Maxwell
A CNN legal expert has slammed Donald Trump for his unclear answer when asked about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted associate.
Trump’s Troubling Connection to Epstein and Maxwell
Trump has faced renewed scrutiny over his past ties to Epstein. Though he insists he disliked Epstein and hadn’t spoken to him in years before the sex crime allegations, new reports reveal Trump’s name in Epstein’s 50th birthday book. The Wall Street Journal published excerpts of a letter signed by “Donald,” containing a message framed by a hand-drawn naked woman.
Trump’s Dodged Answer on Maxwell Pardon
When a Fox News reporter asked Trump if he’d consider pardoning Maxwell, he replied vaguely, “It’s something I haven’t thought about… I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”
This non-committal answer shocked legal analyst Elie Honig. Speaking on CNN, Honig called it “the easiest question in human history” and said Trump should outright deny the pardon.
Legal Expert Warns About the Implications
Honig labeled Maxwell one of the worst child sex traffickers in modern history and said, “Absolutely not. N-O.” Yet, he noted that insiders close to Trump believe a pardon might still happen.
What’s Next for Maxwell?
Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s s*x trafficking ring. Unless pardoned, she will remain behind bars for conspiracy and s*x trafficking crimes involving minors.
Public Demands Transparency
Meanwhile, calls are growing for Trump to release files related to Epstein and Maxwell’s cases, as the controversy continues to deepen.
