Donald Trump said he would look at the case of Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell—while acting like he barely knew her.

The Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal of the convicted sex trafficker, who is currently serving 20 years in prison.

During an afternoon appearance in the Oval Office, Trump was asked if he would consider pardoning Maxwell in light of Monday’s Supreme Court decision, and he did not close the door on it.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked the president about the Supreme Court rejecting Maxwell’s appeal and a potential pardon while he was taking reporters’ questions.

Collins noted that a presidential pardon was her only option to get out of prison in the near future and asked if the president was open to pardoning her.

“Who are we talking about?” Trump asked as if he had not heard the name.

“Ghislaine Maxwell,” Collins clarified.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long,” Trump responded.

“I can say this‚ that I’d have to take a look at it," Trump continued. “I would have to take a look.”

trump is demented. He can't utter a single word that isn't a lie. This article is from less than two months ago, how is that "so long?"

"President Donald Trump on Monday reiterated that he is “allowed” to pardon Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell but told reporters that no one has asked him to issue one to her.

When asked on Monday if he would ever consider a pardon for Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for child sex trafficking and other crimes, Trump told reporters: “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but I — nobody’s approached me with it. Nobody’s asked me about it. It’s in the news about that, that aspect of it, but right now, it would be inappropriate to talk about it.”
