These are quite astonishing remarks made by the tenant of the White House. US President Donald Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell "good luck" on Tuesday. This ex-relative of Jeffrey Epstein is however imprisoned and accused of having helped the deceased financier to sexually exploit minors.
Many encounters
To come to such a sentence, Donald Trump replied to a journalist who asked him if he thought she could give investigators compromising information on powerful personalities that Jeffrey Epstein was dating. He added that he had met Ghislaine Maxwell "many times" when she lived in Palm Beach, Florida, where the US president has a residence.
Trump did not "really follow" this case
However, he did not directly answer the question of whether he thought this jet-set figure could compromise other figures, such as ex-President Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew, the son of the Queen of England in the hot seat since the start of the Epstein scandal last summer. "I did not really follow" this case, simply indicated the president. “I don't know the situation with Prince Andrew”.
After having disappeared from circulation for more than a year that is to say since the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019 and his death in prison the following month, Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, was arrested on July 2 and faces up to 35 years in prison if convicted. Incarcerated without the possibility of bail, the daughter of the late British media mogul Robert Maxwell pleaded not guilty at a hearing in New York on July 14.
