Former Jeffrey Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz lobbied then-President Donald Trump to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell ahead of the high-profile sex trafficking trial in which she was convicted, Maxwell’s brother told the Times of London.

“There was one phone call between Professor Dershowitz and a family member during which the generic issue of pardons was touched on,” Ian Maxwell told the U.K. outlet.
