US EditionPoll Shows Trump Risks Alienating His MAGA Base If He Pardons Ghislaine Maxwell
UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – Maxwell is seeking a pardon from Donald Trump to reduce her 20-year sentence by testifying about Jeffrey Epstein's network before Congress, amid ongoing legal appeals.
- Recently, Maxwell's lawyers requested a pardon from President Donald Trump, offering to testify `openly and honestly` about Epstein's circle before Congress.
- On July 23, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to depose Maxwell on August 11 after she requested immunity, which was rejected.
- A new poll from The Economist/YouGov shows just 4% support a pardon, with 64% opposed among Americans.
- In Unherd, Oliver Bateman argued a pardon would shatter MAGA, while Chris Brennan warned it would provoke another ruckus among Trump's supporters.
- Later this month, Democrats set an August 15th deadline for the Justice Department to release Epstein documents, with Senator Chuck Schumer invoking a law to force their disclosure while protecting victims.

GOP Congressman Absurdity: Trump 'Keeping Powder Dry' On Maxwell Pardon
Republican Congressman Eric Burlison made a fool of himself when he claimed on CNN that Trump hasn't ruled out pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell because he's 'keeping his powder dry'? Huh?
