Earlier this week, an FBI and DOJ memo revealed that the Trump administration has no plans to launch the so-called “Epstein files” and no cause to doubt that Jeffrey Epstein dedicated suicide.
And it appears Musk shouldn’t be the one one who’s asking that query, as TMZ studies that Maxwell is now hoping for a presidential pardon.

The report provides that the Trump administration shouldn’t be contemplating a pardon for Maxwell at current.
However in a brand new interview with The Each day Beast, journalist and Trump biographer Michael Wolff claims {that a} pardon was very severely thought of at one level.
Wolff claims that Trump, a former affiliate of Epstein’s, was involved about what kind of info can be revealed throughout Maxwell’s trial after she was arrested by the FBI in July 2020.
“What could she say — what would she say?” Wolff imagines Trump pondering.
He went on to explain Trump and Epstein as “two guys joined at the hip for a good 15 years,” including:

“They did everything together. And this is from sharing, pursuing women, hunting women, sharing at least one girlfriend for at least a year, and this kind of rich-guy relationship with each other’s planes.”
He added, “I dare say they kind of loved each other. These [sic] were brothers in arms for a long time.”
Wolff claims that Trump’s group discouraged him from pardoning Maxwell forward of or throughout her trial.
“Everybody around him was kind of like, ‘God, we hope she won’t say anything, but we really hope he doesn’t pardon her,’” the journalist tells The Each day Beast.

Requested for his feedback on Maxwell forward of the trial, Trump shocked many by expressing sympathy.
“I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach,” Trump advised reporters, in response to The Hill. “I wish her well, whatever it is.”
Reached by The Each day Beast for touch upon these allegations, Trump communications director Steven Cheung had this to say:
“Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s–t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
