## Resource

Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell may be on her way to a presidential pardon — and the political maneuvering behind it is as troubling as it sounds. House Oversight Committee Republicans are reportedly split over a potential deal that would grant Maxwell a full pardon in exchange for her cooperation and testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Hawk breaks down exactly why some Republicans are pushing for this, and why the answer is painfully obvious: Maxwell would walk into that committee room and clear Donald Trump of any wrongdoing.
