President Trump on Friday called out Bill Clinton and other friends of Jeffrey Epstein, including former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Harvard University President Larry Summers, telling the media they should be reporting on their ties to Epstein.
Trump was asked whether he would consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking girls with Epstein, amid her interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche said after his first five-hour interview.
Trump did not say whether he would consider pardoning Maxwell, but he did appear to hint at who Maxwell pointed the finger at.
“You ought to be speaking about Larry Summers, you ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys, they’re all over the place,” Trump said. “You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island.”
