Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted child sex trafficker, reportedly gave the Justice Department information on around 100 people during two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in a Tallahassee courthouse.

David Markus, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, said after Friday’s interview that he has not discussed a pardon with President Donald Trump or anyone in the administration, but noted Trump had earlier in the day reminded reporters he could grant one—even while maintaining he hasn’t considered it. Markus told reporters he hoped Trump “exercises that power in the right and just way.”

Markus “said after the meetings that his client was asked about maybe ‘100 different people’ in connection with Epstein. He said she did not hold anything back,” The Daily Beast reported. “Markus also said that she was asked about ‘every possible thing you could imagine–everything.'”

The media outlet characterized Maxwell’s discussion of about 100 people as a “Shameless Pardon Quid Pro Quo.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump in May that his name, along with countless others, appeared in the Epstein files, in “what officials felt was unverified hearsay.”

ABC News’ Katherine Faulders reported Friday that Maxwell was “granted a limited form of immunity” for her interview.
