Welcome back to The Red Letter.
In this week’s conversation with
, I unpack a bombshell report unearthed from a congressional whistleblower: that Ghislaine Maxwell is preparing a formal request for commutation—and that it may reach President Trump’s desk before the year is out. If he approves it, her 20-year-sentence for sex trafficking could be significantly reduced.It sounds unthinkable, until you trace their history. In this episode, I walk through Maxwell’s decades-long relationship with Trump, one that began when she was still in her 20s, through her father Robert Maxwell, the tabloid tycoon and con-artist who once rivaled Rupert Murdoch. Trump knew Robert well, he partied on his yacht named after his favorite daughter, The Lady Ghislaine. Their worlds overlapped in media, money, and power long before Epstein entered the picture.
We talk about how that connection fused through ego and access might still matter. A Trump commutation for Maxwell wouldn’t just ignite outrage over her crimes; it would expose the web of privilege and protection that has followed her from Oxford to Palm Beach to prison.
Along the way, we dig into new details about her cushy prison life ever since she was upgraded to a prison camp in Texas after she cleared Trump in an interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. We also examine why the Epstein files vote in Congress is now a flashpoint—and what’s really at stake if those names are finally made public.
This isn’t just another scandal story. It’s a test of how far power, influence, and loyalty can still stretch in America.
