Donald Trump Will Likely Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell Since They’re Both 'Rich Criminals,' Author Says: 'From the Same World'

Renowned biographer Michael Wolff is confident that Donald Trump’s former acquaintanceship with Ghislaine Maxwell will likely lead to her pardon.

Wolff, who has authored four books on the president, opened up on the “Inside Trump’s Head” podcast about the likelihood of the 79-year-old president excusing Maxwell from her 20-year prison sentence on behalf of feeling “sympathetic” for someone he sees parts of himself in.

“He knows it is actually not the politic thing to do. But at the same time, I think he wants to pardon her,” Wolff told host Joanna Coles.

Wolff suggested Maxwell’s two-day meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was enough reason to pardon her after she refused to implicate him in Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile ring.

“I think he feels something for her, and in addition to owing her something because she delivered on what she had to do,” the author said.

Although Wolff said it would be “politically fraught” for Trump to excuse the remainder of Maxwell’s sentence, he strongly believes “he will do this because he wants to do it, because he owes her, and because he feels some sympathy for her.”

Wolff emphasized how Trump’s innate hunger for money and thirst for making major business decisions will ultimately cause him to fold.

“He pardons rich criminals,” the author explained. “He has a feeling for these people, and he may identify with them because he’s kind of — not kind of— he is a rich criminal.”

Wolff noted how Trump and Maxwell come from the “same world,” which intensifies the president’s need to pardon her.

“So there is this sympathy, there is this, you know, ‘This person who knows this person who does this, and this is where the money moves, and all that.’ That’s Donald Trump’s world,” Wolff said. “And it’s no coincidence that Ghislaine has known Donald Trump for many, many, many years.”

When questioned if he will extend a pardon to Maxwell, who was convicted on five of six counts of sexual misconduct in relation to Epstein’s abuse against underage girls, Trump told reporters he hasn’t mulled it over just yet.

“It’s something I haven’t thought about. It's really something… I’m allowed to do it, but it is something I have not thought about,” Trump spilled in July.
