## Resource

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed he wont recommend a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a twenty-year sentence for sex trafficking and conspiracy charges linked to Jeffrey Epsteins network. Despite Blanches stance, Trump still holds the power to issue a pardon, and the Epstein case remains a hot political issue due to its connections to powerful figures.
