House Dems: Ghislaine Maxwell plans to ask for commutation from Trump

Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Ghislaine Maxwell is planning to ask President Donald Trump for a commutation for her sex trafficking conviction related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, House Democrats said Monday.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Trump on Sunday seeking information about a commutation application Maxwell is allegedly preparing. Democrats on the committee said a whistleblower showed them evidence of the application, which CBS News also viewed.

The letter to Trump said that the application was "undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration."

"The warden herself is directly helping Ms. Maxwell copy, print and send documents related to this application."

Plus if she is given any type of pardon, could (when we control house again) yank her in to testify? (because if i understand things) she cannot refuse top tell the truth? She could be jailed until she agrees to talk? THIS is complete bullshit, and we have no control.

Trump may do it, but it won't be until the last day he is in office unless he truly doesn't care about losing his Maga base anymore.
