Trump: Would Have to Talk to DOJ About Maxwell Pardon

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday left the door open to a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of helping the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.

Trump also said that Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was sentenced on Friday to more than four years in prison over his conviction on prostitution-related charges, had requested a pardon.

On the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Maxwell's bid to overturn her conviction, Trump, when asked whether he would set Maxwell free himself through a pardon, said he would speak to the Department of Justice.
