P resident Donald Trump said he had not considered pardoning Jeffrey Epstein 's convicted former associate Ghislaine Maxwell, but that he could do so if he wanted to.

Trump doesn't "dispense pardons liberally", said MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos, and, when he has, he's "got a lot in return, politically", as with the mass pardons for the Jan 6 Capitol Hill rioters. Right now, Trump is "trying to distance himself from Epstein", and a Maxwell pardon is probably "too radioactive".
