Ghislaine Maxwell

Polymarket traders are giving U.S. President Donald Trump odds of pardoning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell a price of +426 (implied 19% chance).

Those odds more than doubled from just a 7% chance just five days ago. 

The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag still have her odds of a pardon set at 7/1 and -2000 of not happening

BetOnline also featured a host of other Jeffrey Epstein-related betting markets including Sarah Ferguson being charged in the USA, Andrew Mountbatten charged in the USA and any related Epstein indictments before 2027 with the YES being favored at -120.  Epstein, along with Maxwell, were convicted for sex trafficking,  Epstein committed suicide in 2019 while Maxwell continues to serve a 20-year federal sentence.  Her projected release, baring a pardon, would be 2037. 

The changes reflect growing GOP support for such a pardon, though members remain split. 

Chair Rep. James Comer told Politico that while he did not support it, a “lot of people” believed that a pardon in exchange for Maxwell’s testimony and cooperation with the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein would be a “favorable deal.

Former Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was having none of it.  Greene was instrumental in having the Epstein Files released late last year before announcing her resignation. 

 

 

"I am shocked that some of my former Republican colleagues on the Oversight Committee are supporting pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. 

"The Epstein survivors are adamantly against her receiving a pardon as she was one of their main abusers next to Jeffrey Epstein and they say she is a serial liar. 

"If Trump gives her a pardon, it sets up a very potential quid pro quo. She will owe Trump and she will lie to protect people he ask her to. 

"Instead the DOJ and local prosecutors with jurisdiction should be prosecuting the rich powerful elites who raped and trafficked these brave survivors when they were just teenagers and young vulnerable women. 

"Why is this so complicated???"
