Miami defense attorney David O. Markus met with his client, Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s serving a 20-year sentence, and a Department of Justice top lawyer in Tallahassee regarding Epstein case.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with her on Thursday in an attempt to quell a firestorm over the Trump administration’s backtracking on promises to release additional records from the Epstein investigation.

The comment came after Trump was asked if he was considering pardoning the associate of Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted sex trafficking.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he "hasn't thought about" pardoning Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell but that he's "allowed to do it."
