Opinion - If Trump saves Maxwell, he will destroy everything he promised

(The Hill) A little over six months into President Trump’s second term, the Jeffrey Epstein stench still lingers. It clings to headlines, fuels whispers, infects backroom dealings. It refuses to be buried.

And now, Ghislaine Maxwell — convicted child trafficker and Epstein’s chief enabler — resurfaces with a proposition: congressional testimony, in exchange for a pardon.

The truly alarming development isn’t Maxwell’s calculated gambit — it is that Trump appears to be listening, particularly with Newsmax personalities like Greg Kelly painting her as some misunderstood victim of prosecutorial overreach.

MAGA likes everything corrupt and debauched. Their leader delivers for them.

The stuff at the rallies was just campaign fodder. He’s delivering like USPS used to with the real agenda he was elected to enact.
