SHOTLIST: WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES (JULY 25, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GREETING PEOPLE ON WHITE HOUSE LAWN AHEAD OF TRIP TO SCOTLAND 2. REPORTERS ASKING QUESTIONS 3. VARIOUS OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MAKING STATEMENT ABOUT GHİSLAİNE MAXWELL, EPSTEİN, OBAMA AND CLINTON WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES - JULY 25: US President Donald Trump said Friday that he has not considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Asked if he would consider a pardon or commutation, Trump said, "it's something I haven't thought about." "I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I have not thought about," he told reporters as he departed the White House for Scotland where he is expected to visit his golf course at Turnberry, and meet UK Premier Keir Starmer. The comments come as Maxwell sits for a second day of interviews with top Justice Department official Todd Blanche. "Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time," Blanche wrote on X Thursday. Trump continued to maintain that he has "nothing to do with" Epstein in the wake of continued reports that have highlighted their friendship during the 1990s and early 2000s, including photos obtained by CNN that show Epstein at Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. Multiple reports published earlier this week indicated that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in files related to Epstein that the Justice Department has so far refused to make public. Other high-profile names also appear in the documents. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the May meeting. Trump suggested that the press focus its Epstein inquiries into others, including a former president of Harvard, whom he did not name, and unspecified "hedge fund guys." "Focus on the former president of Harvard, some of the hedge fund guys, I’ll give you a list. These guys lived with Jeffrey," he said. The Justice Department's public determination earlier this month that Epstein was not murdered in his jail cell in 2019, and its claim that he had no "client list" has set off the largest rift with Trump's MAGA, or Make America Great Again, base. Epstein mingled with the wealthy and powerful, including prominent politicians, for decades before he pled guilty in 2008 to felony solicitation and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. Trump's MAGA allies have for years loudly clamored for the release of the government's Epstein records as they speculate that the files incriminate high-profile individuals. The WSJ reported that the Justice Department has a “truckload” of documents related to Epstein in its possession.
