Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump. Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. In other words, this lawyer is saying if President Trump were to let Maxwell out of prison, she can prove that there were no wrongdoings for President Trump as it relates to Epstein.
