Elie Honig expressed astonishment at Donald Trump's comments regarding a potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a twenty-year sentence for sex trafficking. Trump stated he hadn't ruled out such a pardon, claiming, "I'm allowed to do it." Honig characterized the question of pardoning Maxwell as the easiest question imaginable to answer, stating that even relying on violent criminals as witnesses is justifiable, except in Maxwell's case. He highlighted her significant role in child sex trafficking alongside Jeffrey Epstein, emphasizing the severity of her crimes.
Honig stated, "It's the easiest question in human history to answer. A pardon for the single worst, or number two after Jeffrey Epstein, worst child sex trafficker in modern history? Absolutely not."
Trump kept the door open to a Maxwell pardon, saying, "I'm allowed to do it" when asked about it during a press conference.
