Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of the disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is interested in a clemency-for-cooperation deal that her attorney said could help clear President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton from unsavory allegations.
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said his client is “prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump,” arguing that “only she can provide the complete account” of Epstein’s crimes. Markus added that “both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing,” a claim Democrats immediately dismissed as a bargaining tactic.
