Trump continued to not rule out pardoning Ghisla. He also said he "never had the privilege of going to" Epstein's private island

The transfer happened as Maxwell, an accomplice of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, seeks a deal with a Trump administration eager to tamp down a furor over its refusal to release its files on Epstein.

Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat, Tuesday on X: "DOJ plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell. But why now? Ghislaine is looking for a pardon, and who would be better to give it to her than a co-conspirator now in the Oval Office. Any testimony she provides must be accompanied by the release of the files to corroborate it."
