"Asked at an Oval Office press conference by CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday whether he would consider pardoning Maxwell, who is in prison for child sex trafficking, the president said he would have to look at it, adding: I haven't heard the name in so long. The offhand and largely dismissive remark apparently stunned Loomer, a longtime supporter with the ear of the president, who issued a furious warning on X:"
"Do not do it. I repeat. Do not do it. There will be no coming back from that. I repeat again. For the love of God. Do Not Do It, Loomer wrote, tagging Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. I strongly advise AGAINST anyone lobbying the Trump admin and the DOJ to Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. Do not do it. I repeat. Do not do it. There will be no coming back from that. I repeat again. For the love of God. Do Not Do It @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @PamBondi Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) October 6, 2025"
"Collins' question came on Monday after the Supreme Court refused to hear Maxwell's appeal against her conviction, leaving her 20-year prison sentence intact unless overturned by a presidential pardon. The justices offered no explanation for the decision, effectively ending Maxwell's final legal challenge. Maxwell was convicted of helping Epstein recruit and exploit underage girls in 2022, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges."
Laura Loomer publicly urged President Donald Trump not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, posting urgent repeated warnings on X that such a pardon would be politically irreversible. The warnings followed an Oval Office exchange in which Trump, asked by CNN whether he would consider pardoning Maxwell, said he would 'have to look at it' and remarked that he 'hadn't heard the name in so long.' Several other pro-Trump accounts echoed Loomer's alarm. The Supreme Court refused to hear Maxwell's appeal, leaving her 20-year sentence intact unless a presidential pardon intervenes. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 of aiding Jeffrey Epstein in recruiting and exploiting underage girls.
