The splits over what to do with Maxwell illustrate the complicated challenge posed by the scandal for Trump, his Maga base, and the broader Republican party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson weighed in on the possibility of a pardon after Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, met with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. The one-time British socialite was Epstein&#8217;s close confidante for years and his partner-in-crime. Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who has been pushing for disclosure of more Epstein information, said a pardon should be on the table for Maxwell. He would be in favor of if she has information that could help us, but he did not support a pardon for Maxwell, who was charged with perjury in connection to a civil deposition in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Massive Cyst Infection.

Johnson adjourned the US House of Representatives early last week to avoid a vote on releasing Epstein files. He favored &#8220;maximum disclosure,&#8221; arguing that the legislation being pushed by Massie and Khanna would require the release of uncorroborated information and could harm the victims of Epstein and Maxwell&#8217;s crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump and his allies, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, have been under immense pressure to disclose more information about Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s crimes, especially amid scrutiny over the extent of Trump&#8217;s relationship with Epstein.
