Maxwell, who was the only person convicted in connection with the sex trafficking ring operated by the late financier Epstein, met last week with officials from the Department of Justice as the Trump administration tries to deal with a backlash over its failure to release the so-called “ Epstein files. ”

"I'm allowed to give her a pardon but nobody's approached me with it," Trump said. "It's in the news…but right now it would be inappropriate to talk about it."

The furious family of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre have slammed both Trump and his administration for their handling of the case. Donald Trump’s Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell twice last week.
