CNN halts show for breaking Epstein news and it | TV Shows

CNN interrupted regular programming for breaking news concerning US President Donald Trump in a significant development involving Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and former associate of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Erin Burnett welcomed viewers to the program as she immediately dove into the story, stating, “Good evening, tonight we begin with the breaking news that We are just learning in this hour that Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was granted limited immunity in order to talk with Trump’s personal attorney turned deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.”

She added, “What does this mean, this limited immunity? Well, it allowed Maxwell to provide information without any fear that anything she said that is truthful can be used against her in the future.”

Blanche has verified that he and Maxwell convened in Tallahassee, Florida, on Thursday, at the federal prosecutor’s office within the federal courthouse in the state capital, before reconvening on Friday.

Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, addressed reporters as he departed the courthouse in downtown Tallahassee, “We started this morning right around 9 o’clock, and went to now lunchtime, and we’re finished after all day, yesterday and today.

The president’s name, along with many other high-profile individuals, was frequently listed on flight logs for Epstein’s private jet during the 1990s.

Since reports have emerged, Trump has always denied any wrongdoing relating to the Epstein case, has not been accused of any crimes by law enforcement and has never been identified as the subject of any investigation.

While on a trip to Scotland, Trump was asked about Maxwell and Epstein when he mentioned the possibility of pardoning Maxwell for her crimes.

He responded: “Well, I don’t want to talk about that,” before adding “It’s something I haven’t thought about,” while notably stating, “I’m allowed to do it.”
