Overview

• President Trump told Newsmax he wants to make all government records on Jeffrey Epstein public but emphasized protecting innocent individuals from exposure.
• He confirmed no one has requested a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell as she undergoes immunity-protected interviews by the Justice Department.
• Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors and was recently moved to a minimum-security facility in Texas.
• Sean “Diddy” Combs, convicted on two prostitution counts and facing up to 20 years, is scheduled for sentencing in October and has formally sought clemency.
• Trump described Combs’s mixed verdict as “half innocent” and cited the rapper’s past hostility toward him as a key reason he’s inclined to deny a pardon.
