What letter did Ghislaine Maxwell’s family send demanding a new trial or pardon?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Just follow the facts. Two days ago, Ghislaine Maxwell's family and supporters write a letter that they post publicly demanding that Donald Trump pardon Ghislaine Maxwell or give her a new trial based on what Donald Trump's been posting and saying publicly that the Epstein list files and investigation is a total hoax and sham created by former FBI Director James Comey, former President Obama, former President Biden and Hillary Clinton. Now, 24 hours after Ghislaine Maxwell's family demands a retrial, what does Donald Trump do? He fires the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking case where Ghislaine was convicted and sentenced to over 20 years in prison. It's also the same federal prosecutor out of the Southern District of New York who successfully prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein.

Do you know what that prosecutor's name was from the Southern District of New York? Maureen Comey, the daughter of James Comey. Donald Trump is accusing James Comey, the former FBI director, of coming up with what now Donald Trump refers to as the Epstein hoax. Trump is saying that the entire sex trafficking ring and the list and all aspects of it is a hoax manufactured by Maureen Comey's father. Now Fox, when they learned that Donald Trump fired Maureen Comey, this prosecutor, they barely knew how to report this because they were like, That's probably not helpful news in light of the fact that MAGA is all turning against Donald Trump or covering up the Epstein list in Epstein files. Here, watch this.

Let's play it.
Dr. Mark Siegel 1:49
This is a Fox News alert. This has been a bad few-week stretch for Jim Comey's daughter. She was just fired by the DOJ. She's known for a couple things. She just lost the Diddy case. Of course, and she was Jeffrey Epstein's prosecutor. So the daughter of the former FBI director, James Comey, the veteran federal prosecutor, worked on these cases. Maureen Comey is fired. So this is sending tongues a wagon as the Internet personalities and others. And this show has asked questions about what happened with the files. Why did we over promise and under deliver? But the president has made his opinion on this very clear over the last couple of days. We're going to continue to cover this.

Now, this is all going, I think, exactly as I laid it out when Donald Trump first made that post over the weekend saying that the Epstein list and files was all a hoax. Remember, that followed Pam Bondi, the attorney general, the number one person at the Department of Justice. saying last week that the Epstein list didn't even exist and that they were closing their investigation. The list didn't exist and they were done even what investigating further other co-conspirators. And so then Donald Trump over the weekend said, actually, it does exist, but it was created by Comey, Biden, Obama and other people who are part of the deep state. So then yesterday, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who Donald Trump's also attacking with fraudulent charges about a 2009 mortgage his Gestapo's trying to frame Schiff with.
Ben Meiselas 3:28
Senator Schiff, who also was formerly a federal prosecutor before becoming a Congress member and then a senator, Here's how he responded to the news that the lead prosecutor of Epstein and Ghislaine, who happens to also be James Comey's daughter, was just fired. Here, listen to this.
Jen Psaki 3:47
Tonight, we learned that the DOJ has fired Maureen Comey, who's a well-respected federal prosecutor who also happens to be, I like to phrase it that way, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey from her job in the Southern District Office. And she worked, and I started the show talking about this, in the U.S. Attorney's Office for nearly a decade, where, among other things, she handled high-profile sex trafficking prosecutions and was responsible for prosecuting both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. What's your reaction to the reporting, and what do you make of it?
Adam Schiff 4:18
You know, none of this is good news for the Trump administration or the American people, for that matter, because either she was fired because she's James Comey's daughter, which would be totally inappropriate and a wrongful termination, or she was fired because she was prosecuting Epstein and his accomplices.
