President Donald Trump on Tuesday raised eyebrows when he sais that the “wishes well” for accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who was arrested in a series of charges in connection with her late boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse case.
Trump’s comments left many wondering what’s really going on between Trump and his longtime friend and sex trafficking suspect. That prompted the ladies at “The View” to dig deeper into their relationship.
“I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature, but what is going on that you have something nice to say about this person that’s being accused of some of the most egregious crimes that a human being can be accused of?” co-host Meghan McCain said. “There’s a lot of conspiracy theories with Epstein and her and their power connection. It’s the first time I ever thought, like, wait — what is your connection to her? Which I always thought up until this point was nothing. We’re talking about this, or I’m talking about this and not the coronavirus.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin noted that Trump had the power to pardon Maxwell, who’s being held without bond on six counts related to her involvement in the Epstein sex abuse case, but McCain said it shouldn’t have been difficult to avoid defending her.
“How hard is it to say she’s an alleged pedophile pervert?” McCain said. “I hope she rots in jail if that’s accurate. It’s not that hard.”
