Maxwell would refuse to answer questions about Epstein while her case remains pending, but “would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public” if Trump pardons her, her lawyer said.

Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors. Critics are calling on the Trump to release more information.

The president reiterated that he is "allowed" to pardon the convicted child sex trafficker who aided Jeffrey Epstein.
