President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell Friday, telling reporters he is prepared to release a list of associates connected to Jeffrey Epstein — and said he hasn’t thought about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, the late pedophile’s longtime associate.
“Focus on the former president of Harvard, some of the hedge fund guys — I’ll give you a list,” Trump told reporters as he departed for Scotland.
He also urged the press to “focus on Clinton” and other high-profile Epstein-linked individuals, while standing firm that the media has ignored key elite connections in the case.

“I Haven’t Thought About It”
When asked directly whether he would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, Trump said:
“Can’t talk about pardons… It’s something I haven’t thought about.”
The remark came as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted a second day of interviews with Maxwell, part of an ongoing investigation into Epstein’s network and potential government misconduct in her 2021 trial.
Epstein Case Back in Spotlight
Interest in the Epstein-Maxwell saga has surged in recent weeks, largely fueled by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who hinted earlier this year that her office had uncovered explosive new information.
Bondi later walked back those remarks, issuing a memo saying there was “no Epstein client list” and that Epstein died by suicide in federal custody in 2019.
Trump, once photographed socially with Epstein in the early 2000s, reportedly cut ties in 2004 over a real estate dispute. Since then, he has distanced himself while calling out other Epstein allies.
“You should focus on Clinton. You should focus on the former president of Harvard. You should focus on some of the hedge fund guys,” Trump said Friday.
GOP Caught in the Crossfire
While Trump supporters have demanded full transparency on Epstein’s elite network, some GOP lawmakers have urged the administration to move on from the topic.
Still, with Trump now teasing a “list” of associates tied to Epstein’s inner circle, pressure is once again rising on Congress, the press, and the DOJ to act.
