Town & Country, August 4, 2020
During a White House coronavirus press briefing on July 21, a reporter from the New York Post asked President Donald Trump about accused Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. “I haven't really been following it too much,” the President said about her case. “I just wish her well, frankly.”
Maxwell had been taken into custody at her 156-acre Bradford, New Hampshire estate on July 2 and charged with six counts related to the sexual abuse of young women. She was denied bail a week later and is currently in jail in Brooklyn.
Trump has known Maxwell for decades, and while it is unusual for a sitting President to comment on an ongoing criminal investigation, let alone offer verbal support to the accused, Trump has done so on several occasions, including during the prosecution of Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.
This time his words of support sparked an immediate and prolonged backlash. In an interview that aired August 3, Axios national political correspondent Jonathan Swan asked, “Mr. President, Ghilaine Maxwell has been arrested on allegations of child sex trafficking. Why would you wish such a person well?” In the following exchange, he doubled down on his statement. “Her boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She’s now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well.”
