President Donald Trump has revealed that he’s hoping to release all government files on Jeffrey Epstein to the public.
Trump said his administration is working to ensure that no unnecessary or harmful information is released, such as the identities of victims.
According to the New York Post, Trump is now ready “to release everything” related to the deceased child sex-trafficker.
The president’s insistence on releasing everything the government still has on Epstein comes in the wake of an interesting interview involving Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Rumors have circulated regarding a potential deal for Maxwell.
Such a deal could possibly involve a pardon or commutation, although more information is not available.
However, since the interview, Maxwell has been moved to a low-security prison in Texas.
In an interview with Rob Finnerty of Newsmax, Trump explained what he believes took place in the sit-down, multi-day interview between Blanche and Maxwell.
“I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt,” Trump said.
“I want to release everything,” the president declared.
“I just don’t want people to get hurt.”
The president noted that he hadn’t spoken to Blanche about Maxwell.
Nevertheless, he insisted that his administration is trying to ensure that innocent people don’t “get hurt.”
“Todd went in, and I think he just wants to make sure that innocent people aren’t hurt,” Trump told Finnerty.
Trump was also asked about the rumors regarding a potential pardon for Maxwell.
The president said he hadn’t been asked about such a deal.
Nevertheless, he added that he has the “power” to do so.
“I’m allowed to do it, but nobody’s asked me to do it,” Trump said.
“I know nothing about it.
“I don’t know anything about the case, but I know I have the right to do it.”
Trump was also asked about rumors that he is possibly considering a pardon for convicted rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“Well, he was essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent,” Trump said.
He also recounted his prior relationship with Diddy.
“Probably – eh, you know, I was very friendly with him,” Trump said.
“I got along with him great, and seemed like a nice guy.
“I didn’t know him well, but when I ran for office he was very hostile.”
“It’s hard, you know, like, we’re human beings, and we don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right?” the president continued.
“But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements – so, I don’t know, it’s more difficult.”
