‘I just wish her well,’ President Trump said of Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces trial on charges that she lured underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse

Trump, speaking at his first coronavirus briefing in weeks, was asked if he thinks Maxwell will “turn in powerful men” following her arrest, given that she was the longtime associate of Epstein and was his alleged co-conspirator.Maxwell was arrested early this month in New Hampshire, where authorities said she had been hiding at a sprawling property she bought while shielding her identity.

“I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said. “I’ve met her numerous times over the years — especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach — but I wish her well, whatever it is.” Maxwell, 58, has denied charges she lured underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse and has pleaded not guilty. A U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan denied bail at her hearing last week, saying the wealthy socialite posed a flight risk.

Prosecutors have accused Maxwell, 58, of helping Epstein recruit and eventually abuse girls as young as 14 from 1994 to 1997 and lying about her role in depositions in 2016. Her trial is set to start on July 12, 2021.

Can someone from GOP or MAGA please offer some perspective? Why are you ok with this.

Nothing more important to Han this news story. Great job

P.S. It's hard for many 'leaders' to believe that G-d founded the universe on Truth & Justice because they are so calcified by all the acts of evil they have done, but it is true. Oct. 2019: The emergence/manifestation of SARSCOV2 COVID19. The rest, as they say, is history...

One of the main reasons for the manifestation/emergence of dis-ease in a place/town/country throughout history has been the level of corruption there. e.g. Sodom and Gomorrah. VRSVirginia AlanDersh IsraeliPM RoyalFamily BelindaWilliams Bunninyong 25/6/1999 VictoriaPolice

realdonaldtrump's words about GhislaineMaxwell are bizarre. Like a call to a girl who is about to sit a high school exam. Observers will note the case timetable: 2021. Conveniently a long time after 3rd Nov. Funny about that... VRSVirginia AlanDersh IsraeliPM RoyalFamily

Wouldn’t it be nice if Dear Leader would wish all the Trump Virus patients well or wish ours troops who are in danger of bounty killing well? I think Ms. Maxwell will get Epsteined or pardoned/commuted.

most likely he was involved like prince andrew....

Another Pardon is around the corner.

Ça en dit long sur leurs amitiés.

So many assuming he wished her well because she has dirt on him. Really? That doesn't sound like him. More believable, I'd the President is hoping she makes it through the justice process....unlike her partner Epstein!

Misleading headline here. He means he wishes her well when asked if he thinks she will expose high profile men. Typical attempt by media to make President Trump look bad. Get your headlines right.

And there is the hit, in code, right in front of us.

He knows she has devastating evidence on many of his political opponents. The DNC is in really big big trouble

When did CNN buy ?

Maybe he doesn't want her dead, like some high flying politicians probably do.

Trump is a sicko. Any normal person would have said they hope the victims receive justice and that anyone involved is punished to the ful! extent of the law. He's going to pardon her if she stays silent about all the disgusting and perverted things he's done.

So much for the 'Law & Order' president spiel.

Trump: I wish her well. I knew her in I think Palm Beach. Palm Beach great place to live. Trump: She had so many beautiful daughters, not as beautiful as Ivanka. Ivanka is the bestist. She asked if she could buy her once, but I want Ivanka to myself.

Cue all the photos of Trump sans anyone else with Madam Maxwell. 🙄🙄🙄

Pardon?

That’s like the kiss a mob boss gives to the one he’s about to have killed... or suicided.

PressSec kayleighmcenany She's accused of SEX TRAFFICKING of UNDERAGE GIRLS, in case you missed it. Why is realDonaldTrump so concerned about her well-being whca jonkarl Please don't drop the ball on this.

is so left that they can never do right, what’s wrong with knowing someone and have met them in the past? You truly enemy of the people.

As appalling as this is, it's also totally possible he doesn't know what she's charged with, or doesn't really remember her.

Strange man that Trump - why would he wish Epstein's alleged P.A. (Paedophile Assistant?) well? Once again, odd choice of words from our man with the 213 word vocabulary. I expect he'd say knowing her BITD was 'Great' and they did 'Great things together' and it was 'Tremendous'.

104 days to go... we can do this, world... 104 days to sanity...

And Yet

Disingenuous to say the least. He wished her well in staying alive, we all know what happened to Epstein....

Reuters is leaning pretty heavy to the left these days with clickbait articles.

He’ll have to plead the 5th amendment next time he’s asked a question. He’s up to his eyeballs in whatever she’s done.

Big nonce energy there.

Did she give Clinton back the painting of him in a blue dress? The one that was hanging on her wall? Asking for a friend...

July 12, 2021? i dont think we will survive until then to see

REEEEEEEEEEE! REEEEEEEEEE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

he's telling her to stand strong and not reveal his dirt for he'll use his power to pardon her.

Hm, wonder what she has to say about realDonaldTrump

That's another pardon/commutation in the works ... What's she got on him that he's so afraid of?

What do you want him to say?

Is that supposed to be a warning? In other words, 'Watch your back?' LockHimUp

mysmugface guilty

Code for ‘keep your mouth shut’ and ‘knew them well enough to know them but not well enough to know all that child sex business, no sir’.

pedophiles unite

Best buds going way back

ianjacques68 WTAF

He wishes her well like three times! So predictable, what’s gonna happen next for her. No “sorry for your loss, people of America”. No “I wish you well “ Sick - THIS IS SICK! IT IS PLAIN AS DAY. How can this be our President? 25thAmendmentBeforeWeAllDie

As long as she stays quiet and he makes it through the next election successfully, he will grant her clemency. Cause that’s the kinda guy he is. A loyal custom.... friend I meant friend.

ya know how girl scouts used to come to your door to sell you cookies? He didn't buy the cookies. He wanted to buy something more degrading off the menu.

that was just a kiss from Caligula. All your friends and family now know to make your funeral arrangements.

kelly2277 Uwe he's chewing his inner cheek! Not a good sign

😯🤪

He is lying

Disgusting

The pursing of the lips. A tell🃏

We all wish her well in prison

Criminal

They are from the swamp, I hope they share a cell in ☄️🤬🥵

Why would you wish a criminal mind person well?

When you start wishing sex traffickers well, you are going to end up in prison

🤔🤔🤔

We all know damn good and well that he follows it every damn day.

The president wishing a pedophile well is deeply disturbing. He clearly knows about the case. A president being unaware of a high profile case ... highly doubt it

I don’t doubt that for a second realDonaldTrump . BTW: Loved your Niece’s Book.

Be real! He’s wishing her well because it could be a miracle is she can escape the wrath of the Clinton Cartel!! Her boyfriend didn’t!! 🤔

Guilty

In what capacity? I wonder ... judging from the photographic evidence... well.

That is creepy - disgusting and horrifying. That man 👨 is just a freak show from hell!

Hey WhiteHouse staffers, you might want to inform Captain Dementia it's probably a good idea to distance himself from the child sex trafficker.

Scary_Jerry 👀

Please look up a word : CONTEXT

'I live in Palm Beach. I GUESS they lived in Palm Beach'!

Boy, I bet EricTrump feels awkward about tweeting that picture of Ghislaine Maxwell at the Clinton wedding. TrumpPressConference TrumpMeltdown TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpFailedAmerica

I bet, if his photos with Ghislaine had not been made public earlier on, he would have denied all knowledge of her - and his base would have accepted it as the truth wholeheartedly.

As vile and repulsive as he is each day brings a new low & wishing a sexual predator well and especially one that focused only on underage children is a new low even for him 😩

Crazy world.

Surprised he hasn't visited her in prison!

I’m sure you did. Several times. Not once, several times.

I just have one thing too saying, lol lifes in higher places, I just feel like moving to the jungle . don’t have to deal with this anymore , no tv growing my one food , no supermarket craziness.

A man is known by the company he keeps.

So show how much bill Clinton has met her?

Lives were ruined while this procuress led a privileged life, all the while trafficking young girls, and the president of the United States says he “..wishes her well!”?

Wishing well to a sex trafficker? Poor victims , this man has no compassion

So did Wild Bill Clinton while Hillary watched. Probably

Do not open your mouth to prosecutors, I will pardon you.

yea yea the president is a corrupt, moronic sycophant; nothing new. But did that reporter in the beginning pronounce her name as Jizz-lane Maxwell?

Wish the sex trafficker well. Nice one.

Pardon time again

This guy is unbelievable!

I’m at a loss here. Like i don’t even know what to say 🤷‍♀️

Trump supports Rascism, Fascism, xenophobia and now pedophiles. How low can he go?

Oh yeah.. he's gonna 'Epstein' her, asap.

Is he going to pardon her?

TideNTN But is she in line for a trumppardon?

Lmao they probably coached him so hard for this then he goes & gives a big ol' thumbs up to a pedophile😅

you guys are just awful on giving full quotes.

Era participante do surubão dos milionários! Se conhecem e MUITO!

You’re so full of crap!!!

It’s not like she has any incriminating evidence on me or something

Sounds like a promise of a pardon to me.

I wonder why he (apparently) feels he must remain loyal to certain people, no matter what. No. Matter. What.

President Trump is refusing to say a bad word about the woman who pimped out girls for Epstein to rape and have raped to use for blackmail. This is because he was one of those people and wanted to send her a message that she will be rewarded if she keeps quiet. CRAZY RIGHT

likely included both Presidents Trump and Clinton. Epstein was arrested and given a deal because he was working with US intelligence. When he was arrested again a deal would not hold up again so he was killed and the tapes from the jail he was at were accidentally erased. Now

Hey you already cleared a felon how about her huh she was more than 130000

CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORY: Jeffrey Epstein made his fortune by providing underage girls for powerful people to rape and then blackmailing them. He was likely involved with multiple countries' intelligence agencies and extorted money from them in order to keep quiet. These people

This President is disgusting.

He's Nervous

Covid uncle plz pardon her as she was your good old friends girlfriend. You have the right to do so. Let your conspiracy theory works in this. If not supporting her then expect bombardment so that the so called great personalities faces get exposed.

It's fake police investagiton, lies the girl, dna needs to chek, help him, it's from past, imbosble, if money she want investagate

He’s letting her know he’ll pardon her, like Stone, if she keeps her mouth shut.

I hope he means wish her well as she burns in hell.

JoeCurtatone 🤮vomitrocious

Never fails to shock! What about victims GislaineMaxwell

Sure, wish all the pedophiles well!🤡 TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Wish she'd got to hell? I got it

Yeah, he fucked her. Yeah, I said it. GOP realDonaldTrump

Says one sex offender to another.

If he was clever he would have said “Pardon me?”

POTUS saying “wish her well” is his way of saying hope she doesn’t get the EpsteinDidntKillHimself treatment. DrainTheSwamp EpsteinBlackBook

Code words for 'I hope she doesn't get suicided' before she can testify.

Big yikes on this one.

Way to distance himself.

Oh sure. Because it’s completely normal to send well-wishes to someone who helped traffic and exploit dozens of young girls. Yet another star for our fearless leader. pathetic

Sure he does. Lying POS.

Get serious, first it was a stupid question. It had no relevance.

Why would you do that? She’s a pedophile. Trying to let her know he’s going to take care of her. No trial until after January!

Given a softball like that, and he struck out on one swing. People ACTUALLY voted for this guy.

🤬

POTUS PressSec This is disgusting. Ghislaine Maxwell is accused of trafficking children. These are not American values. You are a disgrace. AmericaOrTrump

What? Child abuse is a crime against humanity. It’s a human right to a childhood.

She is going down... PizzaGate PEDOWOOD Epstein_Island The_Gates The_Clintons

Of course he wishes her well. She's got the goods on him.

Foul lump of moral deformity

Possible pardon on the way?

So what do you think? Commute or pardon?

'I wish her well and will take care of her' is what he really wants to say. As long as she doesn't talk, he will ensure she is pardoned.

He gets more bizarre by the minute

Pretty sure this is his way of saying he hopes she survives

Cordial response to a rigged question.

Smh!

I’m sure he does. He met her numerous times while he was raping 13 year old girls. Pedodent

NIMUFCsupporter lol mad that

Ban Trump! 😡

That means he knows exactly what went down with Andrew

Sounds like a threat.

Seriously?!

Somebody must me naming names

He doesn't wish epsteins victims well. But the woman who lured them he wishes well

WOW!

Nah, probably talked to AG Barr about how to make her disappear like they did to Epstein himself

Message sent to Maxwell Dead lady walking...

It took Trump saying “I wish her well” for the media to even acknowledge the story that they buried and ignored for years

Hope she has the tapes
