President Donald Trump on Tuesday resumed his coronavirus task force press briefing, with no members of the coronavirus task force present, but there was little new news – except a question about Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell was recently arrested on enticement of minors and child sex trafficking charges.
Asked about her case, and if he thinks "she's going to turn in powerful men," Trump responded: "I don't know, I haven't really been following it too much, I just wish her well frankly.I met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach."
"I guess they lived in Palm Beach," he added, not specifying who "they" is.
“But I wish her well, whatever it is."
