Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat, Tuesday on X: "DOJ plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell. But why now? Ghislaine is looking for a pardon, and who would be better to give it to her than a co-conspirator now in the Oval Office. Any testimony she provides must be accompanied by the release of the files to corroborate it."

Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with DOJ prosecutors has sparked questions about whether the Trump administration could leverage a pardon to get her to exonerate Trump.
