Acting AG Todd Blanche says
Ghislaine Maxwell
Not Getting Pardoned!!!
Published
Ghislaine Maxwell can’t rely on President Donald Trump to secure her release from prison … because his acting Attorney General says he will not recommend pardoning Maxwell.
Todd Blanche — who took over the DOJ in earlier April after POTUS fired AG Pam Bondi — testified before Congress Tuesday … and the infamous Epstein files came up.
Senator Chris Van Hollen pressed Blanche on whether he’d meet with Epstein’s victims — he said he has — before asking him if he’d commit to not pardoning any person named in the files.
Blanche said there are tens of thousands of names in the documents … and that he could not make a promise that broad. Van Hollen followed up by asking about Maxwell — and Blanche agreed.
Sources told us that last year Maxwell was hopeful for a pardon after the Trump administration debunked the so-called “client list” — but a senior White House official told us there was simply no way they’d ever do that. Trump said a few weeks later he had the power to pardon Ghislaine … but didn’t commit to setting her free.
Maxwell sat down for a series of conversations with the DOJ in July … and promised a complete account of everything that went down with Epstein in exchange for clemency.
Sounds like she may never get it … because a pardon’s unlikely under this AG.
