Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, was questioned about President Donald Trump's potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell during a briefing. This inquiry arose amid renewed scrutiny of Jeffrey Epstein's case, following the Trump administration's statement that a purported list of Epstein's associates did not exist. Trump dismissed the case's relevance, characterizing it as a hoax instigated by Democrats, which he encouraged his base to overlook. When a journalist inquired about Maxwell's pardon, Leavitt deflected and did not answer the question directly, choosing to call on another reporter instead.
During the briefing, Leavitt faced multiple inquiries about Jeffrey Epstein's case, particularly the lack of an existing list of associates published by Trump's Department of Justice.
Trump has downplayed the Epstein case, labeling it a hoax created by Democrats and encouraging his supporters to move on from the issue.
Leavitt was asked about President Trump's potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted for her involvement in Epstein's trafficking operation, but she overlooked the question.
While Leavitt dismissed inquiries regarding Maxwell, she confronted a correspondent for asking about Trump's peculiar story connecting his uncle to Ted Kaczynski.
