President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of pardoning Maxwell when asked last week.
Elon Musk has weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump issuing a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
A user on X posted a meme that suggested Trump would pardon Maxwell after she « names a bunch of Democrats » and says Trump « did nothing wrong. » Musk responded to the post early Monday with a bull’s-eye emoji.Why It Matters
Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls. She has appealed her case to the Supreme Court, which has not yet decided whether to take up the case.
Maxwell was questioned by the Department of Justice last week as the Trump administration continues to face pressure to release the government’s files on the investigation into Epstein, after the DOJ and FBI said in a July 7 memo that Epstein did not have a list of clients and that no additional records would be released to the public.
Questioned by reporters on Friday, Trump did not rule out the possibility of pardoning Maxwell.
Musk, once a staunch ally of Trump and the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, is among those calling for the release of the files.
